Is ucwords delimiter parameter supported in PHP 5.6?

According to the official documentation, the PHP ucwords function is available for versions 4, 5, 7 and supports a delimiter parameter which was introduced in versions 5.4.32 and 5.5.16.

Thus, I expect for the delimiter parameter to be available in version 5.6.*.

Experiment shows instead that it is not available in version 5.6.30-1+deb.sury.org~trusty+1. Is this expected behaviour, a bug in the PHP package I am using, or simply a mistake from my part?

Thank you for your time.

I just want to add.

On one of my system PHP 5.6.30-11+deb.sury.org~trusty+3, ucwords() throws warning:

Warning: ucwords() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given in ...

On my other system with PHP 5.6.33-0+deb8u1, it works fine.

You can run a quick test with all the versions you want with docker.

With 5.6 you will get the expected behaviour:

$ docker run -i php:5.6-cli php -r "echo ucwords('hello|world', '|') . PHP_EOL; "
Hello|World

Maybe check with php --version what version you are actually calling?

For reference, this is the response for a version that does not have the option:

docker run -i php:5.3-cli php -r "echo ucwords('hello|world', '|') . PHP_EOL; "

Warning: ucwords() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given in Command line code on line 1

The parameter is added, according to the docs:

5.4.32, 5.5.16 Added the delimiters parameter.

So in the case of @khorneholy , 5.5.9 would NOT have this feature

The code

<?php

$word = "foo|bar";
echo(ucwords($word, "|"); // Foo|Bar

Works as expected in all PHP versions, here's the output: https://3v4l.org/Uf3Ya
