1.2.1451. Wrong Number Of Arguments In Methods

Those methods are called with a wrong number of arguments : too many or too few. Check the signature. Methods with a variable number of argument, either using ellipsis or func_get_args() are ignored.

PHP emits an error at runtime, when arguments are not enough : ‘’. PHP doesn’t emit an error when too many arguments are provided.

<?php

class Foo {
    private function Bar($a, $b) {
        return $a + $b;
    }

    public function foobar() {
        $this->Bar(1);

        // Good amount
        $this->Bar(1, 2);

        // Too Many
        $this->Bar(1, 2, 3);
    }
}

?>
