Hey,
I was messing around with array_walk[_recursive] and found the behaviour it
uses to validate callback functions completely different to other standard
functions.
array_walk_recursive
http://lxr.php.net/source/php-src/ext/standard/array.c#1111
array_filter
http://lxr.php.net/source/php-src/ext/standard/array.c#3973
array_map
http://lxr.php.net/source/php-src/ext/standard/array.c#4065
Now, apart from the internal differences, the external differences are quite
apparent.
array_walk[_recursive] called with an array('foo','bar') as a callback will
throw a E_FATAL
- reproduce: php -r '$var=array('foo','bar'); array_walk_recursive($var,
array('foo','bar'));'
Compared to only an E_WARNING for other functions.
- reproduce: php -r '$var=array('foo','bar'); array_filter($var,
array('foo','bar'));'
Is there a good reason for this? Perhaps we could implement a standard
method for such validation?
On a side note, with php_error_docref errors, please don't add a full stop
to the end of the error message!
Kind Regards,
Aidan Lister
