From: max at awakers dot com Operating system: Centos 5.2 PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Compile Warning Bug description: Misleading error message in configure script
Description: ------------ Refering bug #42907 When supplying bogus parameters to the ./configure script, it reports the following Notice: Following unknown configure options were used: This is a bit misleading as some people assume that it was used by the configuration script, while the message states that the user used those invalid parameters. Reproduce code: --------------- add any -whatever-param to the config script Expected result: ---------------- That's a catch-22 because 50% of the users will assume that "used" has the config script as the subject, while the other 50% will assume that it refers to the user. Let's make it a bit clearer. For example Notice: The ollowing unknown configure options were supplied but not used: Actual result: -------------- Notice: Following unknown configure options were used: -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46362&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46362&r=mysqlcfg
