Description:
------------
Now that PHP 5.3 will have getopt() available on all platforms, I think it's important to also make it as usable as possible.

Currently, getopt() is not usable for command line scripts that have both option and non-option arguments, because it doesn't modify argv, as pointed out already in 2003 in this comment: http://www.php.net/getopt#34163. Stripping away the option arguments from argv when a call to getopt() is made would be a great improvement. User land code can handle the remaining non-option arguments from argv then.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Expected behavior.

I didn't report this as a bug, but under the category "Feature/Change RequestFeature". I think this is a good enhancement and do not understand why it gets closed with a standard reply of "Please double-check the documentation".
