It produces much better & verbose error messages error messages. Take a look at these for example: 5_3> ./sapi/cli/php -r 'strlen(1,2,3);' Warning: strlen() expects exactly 1 parameter, 3 given in Command line code on line 1 5_3> ./sapi/cli/php -r 'strlen(array());' Warning: strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in Command line code on line 1 5_2> ./sapi/cli/php -r 'strlen(1,2,3);' Warning: Wrong parameter count for strlen() in Command line code on line 1 Notice the difference? > Also, is this documented anywhere? .._none() might be not documented, but it's used everywhere. I believe it should be mentioned in README.PARAMETER_PARSING_API if it's not there yet. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
