“did you mean …?” suggestions to errors for undefined functions. While it does not change language semantics, it changes error messages and introduces additional checks on error paths, so I would like to confirm whether consensus on the PR is sufficient or an RFC is expected.


Thanks, this is great.

According to PHP Policy RFC: Exempt input type and value validation from BC Break policy <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/policy-exempt-type-value- error-bc-policy>, rephrasing error messages is not subject to the backwards compatibility break policy.

We are very close to the soft feature freeze. I'm looking forward to hearing some feedback on the list.


I think the amount of punctuation at the end is a bit much. Perhaps it would be clearer (although less strictly correct) to say "(did you mean func?)" instead of "(did you mean func()?)". But either way I am in favor of this.

I do agree here there's a bit too much punctuation. Perhaps something similar to what Python does (according to the posted link)?

Call to undefined function defined(). Did you mean: define?


Cheers
