Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.getopt
---


Test script:
---------------
Save as test.php
<?php
$opts = getopt("f::");

print_r($opts);
?>

Working Example:
php test.php -ffilename.ext

Breaking Example 1:
php test.php -f filename.ext

Breaking Example 2:
php test.php myarg -f filename.ext

Expected result:
----------------
All examples should return the following;

Array
(
  [f] => filename.ext
)

Actual result:
--------------
Working Example:
Array
(
  [f] => filename.ext
)

Breaking Example 1:
> Does not allow for options to have space separated singular values.
Array

For breaking example 1 there's a note in the source that states:
"Optional value is not supported with -<arg> <val> style"
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/45f7b2bcc8f95e793c1a9bb60da0848860c060fb/main/getopt.c#L167

For breaking example 2, I think any positional arguments must follow any named arguments, so you'd need to do:
php test.php -ffilename.ext myarg
