Req #73550 [NEW]: PHP Function Call Proposal

From: zartashzulfiqar at gmail dot com Operating system: All PHP version: 7.1.0RC6 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:PHP Function Call Proposal Description: ------------ function myFunction($var1, $var2=3, $var3=4, $var4=5) { echo $var1."\n".$var2."\n".$var3."\n".$var4; } Test script: --------------- myFunction('Test Call', 3, 4, 10); Expected result: ---------------- I expect this Output: Test Call 3 4 10 Actual result: -------------- Actual Same: Test Call 3 4 10 But Issue is: Now see that I only want to change $var4 value in my function. All other default values will remain same. But I have to remember every value and pass it through the function. I am proposing a this change like this: myFunction('Default Value', $var4=10); so that Every developer can only pass value with specific variable name. This issue arises at many function when we used in our development. I think this change will be a big feature for developer. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73550&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=73550&r=mysqlcfg
