Bug #13353 Updated: function calling causes error with varable

ID: 13353 Updated by: rasmus Reported By: knightemu@yahoo.com Old Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: win 98 box PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: Variable default values are not supported. A workaround would be to assign it a bogus value and check for that in your function. eg. function foo($arg=NULL) { if($arg==NULL) $arg = $GLOBALS['str']; } Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-17 16:26:15] knightemu@yahoo.com I am not sure if this is a bug or php is just not built to handle something like this, but when i call a function like this: function EchoContent($BarName="Error",$body="error.inc",$topheight="100",$width=$menuwidth){ it causes an error! you cant assign a variable within the function call. i would have to re-do it like this for it not to cause an error. function EchoContent($BarName="Error",$body="error.inc",$topheight="100",$width="100"){ I am sure you can see the benefits of using the top version.
