note 85140 added to function.getopt

I really need long options but it's not supported in 5.2.6 on my Solaris box so I wrote an _getopt() to simulate getopt(). An example ======== a.php ======== #!/usr/local/bin/php <? include "getopt.inc"; $shortopts = "f:v::abc:hp"; $longopts = array( "required:", // Required value "optional::", // Optional value "option", // No value "opt", // No value ); $options = _getopt( $shortopts, $longopts); var_dump($options); ?> ====== end of a.php ====== then run the file a.php, # ./a.php -f "test 2" -ab --required "test 1" --optional="test 3" --option -v "test 4" -k array(7) { ["f"]=> string(6) "test 2" ["a"]=> bool(false) ["b"]=> bool(false) ["required"]=> string(6) "test 1" ["optional"]=> string(6) "test 3" ["option"]=> bool(false) ["v"]=> string(6) "test 4" } Source code is a bit longer and not allowed by this site.
