It's in ext/standard/type.c function php_is_type.

Line 209

> php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "Only one argument expected");

< php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "Wrong parameter count");


Not so important but it's confusing :-)

I see no reason to change this particular error message and leave about 1922 similar messages untouched.
You always can have a look at the appropriate docs and learn what number of arguments this function expects.

Thanks for the traditionnal "Look at the manual".

"Only One" refer to a situation where a call to a function use more than one argument. It have annoyed me 5 min (more than one is_array fit on a line) and it's a 2 sec fix.

But please forget it.
