[pear/console_commandline] third level verbosity

$ cat composer.json

    }
}

$ cat main.php
<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$parser = new Console_CommandLine;

$parser->addOption('verbose', array(
    'multiple'  => true,
    'short_name'  => '-v',
    'long_name'   => '--verbose',
    'action'      => 'StoreTrue',
));

try {
    $result = $parser->parse();
    print_r($result->options);
} catch (Exception $exc) {
    $parser->displayError($exc->getMessage());
}

$ php main.php -v | grep verbose
    [verbose] => 1
````

OK, but...

````
$ php main.php -vvv | grep verbose
    [verbose] => 1
````

I would have expected (third level verbosity)

````
    [verbose] => 3
````

Can you do something to solve?

print_r() will display a boolean true as 1...

Why?  You set the action as StoreTrue, which if you look at the documentation,

tells the parser to store the value true in the result object if the option is present in the command line

Adding the flag multiple times just stores the value true multiple times.  There's no such thing as "more true" and "even more true".

If you keep reading that documentation, you'll find there's a different action type Counter which is what you want.  It is documented as:

This action tells the parser to increment the value in the result object each time it encounters the option in the command line, for example:

The shown example is exactly what you are trying to do.

$ cat main.php 
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$parser = new Console_CommandLine;
$parser->addOption('verbose', [
    'short_name'  => '-v',
    'long_name'   => '--verbose',
    'action'      => 'Counter',
]);

$result = $parser->parse();
var_dump($result->options['verbose']);

$ php main.php -vv --verbose
int(3)
$ php main.php 
NULL

Very good!!!
Thanks ;)
