Problem with php_uname

[ph3n0m]

I am running php 4.2.2 (and for whatever reasons, I am not allowed upgrade it)

Anyway, when I try to execute the following line of code

$_textToLog = date('r')." [".php_uname(n)." ".getmypid()."]"."[$func] ".$warn_banner . $text;

I get the following error message

Warning: Wrong parameter count for php_uname() in ........

I have tried using the following

$_textToLog = date('r')." [".@php_uname(n)." ".getmypid()."]"."[$func] ".$warn_banner . $text;

php_uname(); works fine, but specifically php_uname(n); doesnt

Can anyone theorise why this is so?

It could be because of error settings not allowing the script to assume the n as a string. Checking error reporting, using php_uname(n), you should get an error like so: PHP Notice: Use of undefined constant n - assumed 'n'. Since it expects that argument as a string, you should use php_uname('n') instead.

unfortunately, I tried that alternative and again I got the same error message

"Wrong parameter count for php_uname()"
