Description: ------------ I'm a Japanese. I'm sorry, my English is poor, so it may be hard to read this. For example, I give the following similar longoptions parameter to getopt(). $longoptions = array("last_name=", "last_name_two="); And I execute my php script as follows. php myscript.php --last_name="abc" Then, getopt() return a PEAR error object. The error message of the error object is as follows. Console_Getopt: option --last_name is ambiguous Reproduce code: --------------- --- Getopt.php.orig 2003-12-12 04:21:14.000000000 +0900 +++ Getopt.php 2005-05-30 18:43:51.000000000 +0900 @@ -201,7 +201,7 @@ options. */ if ($opt_rest != '' && $opt{0} != '=' && $i + 1 < count($long_options) && - $opt == substr($long_options[$i+1], 0, $opt_len)) { + $opt == substr($long_options[$i+1], 0, strlen($long_options[$i+1]))) { return PEAR::raiseError("Console_Getopt: option --$opt is ambiguous"); } Expected result: ---------------- getopt() should not return the error object.

Hi there!
