Can you give a URL to the section of the documentation you're asking to be updated? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-05 11:09:23] jc@mega-bucks.co.jp Could you add to the docs in the section on functions and default argument values that default values can only be scalers or constants? these won't work: 1- function a ($b = $val) {} 2- function b ($a = another_function()) {} This link offers some workarounds, eventhough it would be really nice to be able to do #2, don't you think ;) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=91877248424055& ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19252&edit=1
