Test script: --------------- For example, consider this: function justToTest($a = 10, $b = 0) { var_dump($a, $b); } justToTest(); justToTest(5); justToTest(default, 5); Expected result: ---------------- The first call should show int 10 int 0 The second call should show int 5 int 0 The third call should show int 10 int 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65772&edit=1
