Bug #2285: default arguments skipping

From: tsf@post.cz Operating system: linux PHP version: 3.0.12 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: default arguments skipping when I develop apps, I tend to add more and more arguments to my functions giving them default values for backward compatibility. but as soon as your function has more than 14 arguments :) it gets very tiring to write them all... it would be great if you could specify WHICH arguments you want to pass to the function... like: function foo($arg1, $arg2 = 0, $arg3 = "none") { ... } foo("wow", $arg3 => "bar");
