Bug #14306 Updated: Need a something to pass to use default function values

ID: 14306 Updated by: zak Reported By: mikep@oeone.com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: This issue has been raised on this list and on the Zend Engine mailing list. IIRC it has always been shot down. Perhaps review the list archives to see what has been discussed in the past, consider the arguments and - if you still desire the feature - present your case again. Personally, if I wanted the feature, I would think that a syntax like: my_function ('arg 1', ,'arg 3); would look/work best... Good luck! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-30 17:49:54] mikep@oeone.com I would like a way to pass something into a function and have it use the default values. For eg., if I have the function function test( $value, $value1=1, $value2=2 ) and I call it like test( "value", "", "2" ) I think it should use 1 for $value1. It currently does not, but I'd like to be able to pass something in to make it use the default value, like: test( "value", NULL, "2" ) I know you can rewrite the function to test for $value1="", but I'd rather not do that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14306&edit=1
