Subject: debug_backtrace does not behave as documented
From: magnus@php.net (Magnus =?iso-8859-15?q?M=E4=E4tt=E4?=)

Hello

debug_backtrace() used to print out arguments to functions, but does not 
anymore. Is this desired behavior ?


<?php
function foo($bar) { var_dump(debug_backtrace()); }
foo("bar");
?>

Output:
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(3) {
    ["file"]=>
    string(36) "/home/magnus/Projects/base/test4.php"
    ["line"]=>
    int(8)
    ["function"]=>
    string(3) "foo"
  }
}


The output from the example in the manual:
Hi: friend
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  array(4) {
    ["file"] => string(10) "/tmp/a.php"
    ["line"] => int(10)
    ["function"] => string(6) "a_test"
    ["args"]=>
    array(1) {
      [0] => &string(6) "friend"
    }
  }
  [1]=>
  array(4) {
    ["file"] => string(10) "/tmp/b.php"
    ["line"] => int(2)
    ["args"] => 
    array(1) {
      [0] => string(10) "/tmp/a.php"
    }
    ["function"] => string(12) "include_once"
  }
}



Was this changed for a reason ?
