Re: Pear fetch script problem on PHP 7.0

This is a strange and rather concerning error message. If I look at the source code of /pear/fetch.php in php-src, line three looks like this:

    function usage($argv) {

$argv here is only specified once in the parameter list, yet it produces an error. Now, presumably this is some sort of conflict with the global variable $argv. But that's a global, not a superglobal, so it really shouldn't cause an error here. This looks like it might be a serious PHP 7 bug. And yet I can't reproduce it by running pear/fetch.php. Is something weird going on here? Thanks. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
