No way this should be ever implemented, that looks just like a typo instead of intentionalö. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-28 15:21:16] jeremyirons at genevus dot com Any reason why the following has never been implemented for optional function arguments? function test($a, $b = 1, $c = 2) { //do something } test("hello",,7); What I would like the test function to see would be $a = "hello" $b = 1 $c = 7 Since I skipped the second argument, I would like the default value to kick in. This would be really useful! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=20706&edit=1
