From: RQuadling at GMail dot com Operating system: irrelevant PHP version: 5.3CVS-2007-12-13 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Allow getopt to set False by handling a trailing - on a non-optional parameter.
Description: ------------ Currently you can you getopt to support the following formats -t -p=value -p value -o[=value] --test --param=value --optionalparam[=value] NOTE -o [value] --optionalparam [value] are not supported at the moment. What I would like to have supported is ... -t- -t+ --test- --test+ This would provide a fix for 23859 by allowing you to explicitly state the boolean value rather than relying on the arguable counter-intuitive value returned for boolean tests. It would also allow you to be able to document default boolean flags and supply a method of disabling them using the same flag rather than having to have an enableflag and a disableflag setting. If people have been using + or - in there long parameter names, then I suppose this will be a BC for them, but in simple testing it looks like you can't have them in your long opts. Please.
