Optional arguments to __get() make no sense, because manually
calling __get() is flawed, to start with. Use a dedicated accessor
method instead.

The function func_get_args() can be used to capture all passed arguments to the called method or
function, regardless of the minimum number of parameters required.
So for example:
function __get($key) {
if (!isset($this->container[$key])) {
return func_get_arg(1); // default to the second parameter index
}
return $this->container[$key];
}
somewhere within the class:
$this->__get('name', 'default value'); // the second argument will be the
second parameter to the magic method __get().

Description:
------------
I wish it were possible to declare a __get() magic method with additional, optional arguments, in
addition to the required $name argument.
It makes total sense for any __get() magic method declaration to *require* exactly one argument, but
it would be nice to allow additional, optional arguments. Optional arguments would get default
values when __get() is called magically, but could be specified if __get() is called manually.
This is already the case with the ArrayAccess interface (it makes sense that there is a difference
between SPL interfaces and PHP magic methods, but optional arguments is a pattern I find useful with
ArrayAccess and would find useful with __get()...)
I successfully declare offsetGet() with additional, optional arguments:
<?php
class Foo implements ArrayAccess
{
public function offsetGet($offset, array $options = array())
{
[...]
}
[...]
}
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class Foo
{
public function __get($name, array $options = array())
{
}
}
Actual result:
--------------
ket% php foo.php
Fatal error: Method Foo::__get() must take exactly 1 argument in /home/jablko/foo.php on line 7
ket%
