Bug #78579 mb_decode_numericentity: args number inconsistency
Submitted: 2019-09-21 12:58 UTC Modified: 2019-09-21 14:41 UTC

Status: Closed Package: mbstring related
PHP Version: Irrelevant OS:
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
mb_decode_numericentity() expects 3 parameters but in the documentation the signature has 4 parameters.
The last one should be removed.

See: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-decode-numericentity.php

Also when the function is called with too much parameters the warning is wrong.
See the example below.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$r = new ReflectionFunction('mb_decode_numericentity');
var_dump($r->getNumberOfParameters());

$str = mb_decode_numericentity('', [], "UTF-8", true, 'foo');

Expected result:
----------------
int(3)

Warning: mb_decode_numericentity() expects at most 3 parameters, 5 given in /in/VFjAX on line 6

Actual result:
--------------
int(3)

Warning: mb_decode_numericentity() expects at most 4 parameters, 5 given in /in/VFjAX on line 6

Well, the documentation is correct according to the current
implementation[1].  mb_encode_numericentity() and
mb_decode_numericentity() share the same ZPP, but the fourth
parameter is completely ignored for the latter function.  I think
it's best to keep the unused parameter for PHP 7, but to fix
reflection, and to remove the parameter for PHP 8.  And of course
the documentation has to be improved; the $is_hex parameter is
available as of PHP 5.5.3.
