This bug has been fixed in SVN. Since the websites are not directly
updated from the SVN server, the fix might need some time to spread
across the globe to all mirror sites, including PHP.net itself.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP.net better.

Log: Fixed bug#45098 (named constants require long opt)

(it is phd --verbose .. not --version :)

The real reason is that before PHP5.3 there was no such thing as
"optional argument".
For the --verbose option it is natural to specify an option, but -v
usually doesn't take arguments, but are passed multiple times for more
verbosity.

We could fix it in 5.3 (optional argument), but then we would need some
weird 5.2 BC code and it would be really inconsistent between PHP
versions...

Description:
------------
Named constants seemingly cannot be used with short options, for
example:

  phd -v VERBOSE_NOVERSION

Whereas the following works:

  phd --version VERBOSE_NOVERSION

The difference is confusing, however, maybe there is a good reason.
