New Comment:
I have a patch for this bug. Actually, I am not sure this is even a
bug. POSIX says that getopt should break on the first non-option.
Also, the php_getopt() function needs to break on the first non-option.
Consider the following: php -n test.php -a 1 -b 2
That being said, the getopt() userspace function can be made to work
both ways. I have a patch to allow php_getopt() to ignore unknown
parameters.
One question: Should getopt() have its prototype changed to: array
getopt ( string $options [, array $longopts, bool posix ] ) ? It would
default to true if not specified (for BC). Setting it to false would
make it ignore non-options.

Deassigning since Hannes apparently has no idea how to fix this.

Still fails after a year without response from Hannes.

Hannes, are you doing something about this?

Description:
------------
getopt() stops processing at the first unknown parameter.
I'm not sure if this is ...
a php bug - getopt should return them as is
or ...
a doc bug - getopt() will cease operation at the first hurdle.
My preference is to return them as is. Maybe a third param to the
function to collect unknown parameters. This would provide backward
compatibility if the function didn't die when an unknown parameter was
reached.
The code is a simple test to examine the command line.
Run this with this parameter
-a 1
and then with these
broken -a 1
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump($_SERVER['argv'], getopt('a:b', array('apple=', 'bag')));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(17) "C:\phpargtest.php"
[1]=>
string(2) "-a"
[2]=>
string(1) "1"
}
array(1) {
["a"]=>
string(1) "1"
}
array(4) {
[0]=>
string(17) "C:\phpargtest.php"
[1]=>
string(6) "broken"
[2]=>
string(2) "-a"
[3]=>
string(1) "1"
}
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(6) "broken"
["a"]=>
string(1) "1"
}
Actual result:
--------------
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(17) "C:\phpargtest.php"
[1]=>
string(2) "-a"
[2]=>
string(1) "1"
}
array(1) {
["a"]=>
string(1) "1"
}
array(4) {
[0]=>
string(17) "C:\phpargtest.php"
[1]=>
string(6) "broken"
[2]=>
string(2) "-a"
[3]=>
string(1) "1"
}
array(0) {
}
