Description:
------------
If you don't provide required arguments, getopt doesn't return FALSE;


# php example.php

array(0) {
}




Test script:
---------------
<?php
$shortopts = "f:";  // Required value

$longopts  = array(
    "required:",     // Required value
);

$options = getopt($shortopts, $longopts);

var_dump($options);

?>


Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
array(0) {
}

This is expected behavior (see also the first example[1]).
getopt() does not fail if an option is missing; instead the option
is not included in the return value.  The function only fails
(i.e. it returns FALSE), if $argv is missing (e.g. when PHP is
running as Apache module).

I think the documentation could be improved here.
