Fun thread! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has a complete list of the
functions
that changed as a result of this zend_parse_parameters() fix. I don't see
anything
specific in the upgrade instructions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php
Also, will number_format((float) $x) behave under PHP 5.3.x exactly the same
way
that number_format($x) behaved under PHP 5.2.x? Are there any subtle
differences?
Thanks.

Sir.
This issue was recently brought to my attention.
On behalf of PHP I would like to apologize. I see that now that you have been
treated unfairly.
After carefully reviewing this bug report with our board of directors on 4chan,
we have come to the conclusion that your "rusty C skills" should be enough to
fix the issue.
I would therefore like to remind you that ras...@php.net is

Again, I sincerely apologize. We will try to stop fixing bugs in PHP.

Just look in the mirror, pal.
You need classes on how to listen to others.

Wow, a classic case of how not to treat unpaid volunteers who provide
critical pieces of your money-making infrastructure.

I get it. Yours is bigger, you've worked better, you are at the cutting edge of
everything, and you have infinite resources to test every new version of every
piece of software in your stack. Got it. I'm shamed and have no options. So,
you're going to give a cover-all answer to make sure that you don't have to do
anything. Ok, I get it. I hope no one ever does this to you, because it makes
you lose faith in the product.
We will push forwrd with patching the source. It would appear that the 1194th
line in math.c is the one that needs changing. returning 0 as opposed to
returning nothing? I'll edit and compile.

I have worked in such environments. Much bigger ones, in fact. Part
of your responsibility in your position is to keep track of your tools
and the changes coming down the pipeline. 5.3 was available to you as
a release candidate in March of last year, and even earlier directly
from our revision control system. Many things have changed and there
are many many people out there affected by these changes, we recognize
that. That is also why we are not likely to reverse a change like this
that others in your situation have now accounted for, tested and
deployed in production for many months simply because it is
inconvenient for you.
