I did have a short peak at the code and yes I belive we could implement such a function relatively more simple than pecl/params > Ahother thing - for core I think it has to be named something like > func_parse_args() to be in line with func_get_args() etc. and some error > feedback (like, which parameter failed and why) wouldn't hurt. I thought the same, and then implementing it in zend_builtin_functions in line with the other func_*() utilities. > But having such thing in core would be very nice.

Indeed it doesn't solve the current arguments for and against type hinting. But its a good step in the right direction for a better way to parse passed parameters from a library developer perspective. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net
