It still happens in the now most recent version, 4.3.10? Or does "most
recent" mean 5 and up?

Must admit to using the http://entropy.ch/ installer, instead of
downloading source from http://www.php.net/downloads.php and compiling
myself, but it *is* 4.3.9, the only newer release is a RC?
Not that it's critical or anything..

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed
in the latest released version of PHP, which you can download at
http://www.php.net/downloads.php
Already fixed by Nuno in XML sources.

Description:
------------
http://nl.php.net/manual/en/function.uniqid.php
Excerpt, added arrows:
----------------------
string uniqid ( [string prefix [, bool more_entropy]])
uniqid() returns a prefixed unique identifier based on the current time
in microseconds. prefix is --> optional <-- but can be useful, for
instance, if you generate identifiers simultaneously on several hosts
that might happen to generate the identifier at the same microsecond.
Up until PHP 4.3.1, prefix could only be a maximum of 114 characters
long.
If the --> optional <-- more_entropy parameter is TRUE....
----------------------
So while both parameters should be optional, I do get a warning.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ini_set('track_errors', '1');
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo uniqid();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
41a6819d003c2
or somesuch.. the same result that I would have gotten with
echo uniqid('');
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: uniqid() expects at least 1 parameter, 0 given in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/foo.php on line 7
