I disagree, this function should fail even when used as first argument (also according to docs). If you allow it to be passed as first argument, but not as second or third, etc., you create only chaos. It's much more cleaner to let it fail everytime. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-01 15:55:34] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Right. I think this shouldn't be fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-25 21:54:45] csaba at alum dot mit dot edu Note: Because this function depends on the current scope to determine parameter details, it may only appear in the first argument to a function. Thus myfunc1 (myfunc2 (func_get_arg(1), 7)) OK myfunc1 (myfunc2 (7, func_get_arg(0))) Error myfunc1 (7+func_get_arg(0)+func_get_arg(1)) OK myfunc2 (func_get_arg(0), func_get_arg(1)) Error If you must pass this value of func_get_arg() not in the first argument, assign the results to a variable, and pass the variable."

If you must pass this value, assign the results to a variable, and pass the variable." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-13 14:38:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, that's true then. But I'm not sure how important this bug is :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
