Req #52236 [NEW]: Function Call Request

From: Operating system: Mac OS X 10.6.4 PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Function Call Request Description: ------------ It would be useful if you could leave out optional Parameters when calling Functions, but specify others that come after that certain Parameter. I suppose the Script will explain it a little better. Test script: --------------- <?php abc("...", , 123); abc("...", 2, , chr(10)); //Like in list, where you can leave out certain Elements list($a, $b, , $d) = explode(",", "a,b,c,d"); function abc($d, $e = false, $f = 123, $g = PHP_EOF) { return "something"; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- .
