From: Operating system: Mac OS X 10.6.3 PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: HTTP related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:http_post_data parameter documentation wrong, but better
Description: ------------ According to the http_post_data documentation the second parameter is optional: <code> string http_post_data(string $url [, string $data [, array $options [, array &$info ]]]) </code> However, when you try http_post_data('http://...'); this error is returned: "expects at least 2 parameters, 1 given" It would be great if the code were changed to match the documentation, in that there are times when POST-ing an empty body could be valid (requesting a "ticket" to later PUT to, etc). Please consider the making the library match the documentation. Thanks. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52097&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52097&r=mysqlcfg
