Well, my guess was wrong. I guess it has to happen eventually. :) So how are you calling the function? If you have: function func($a=1,$b=2) { print("[$a]"); } func(); all by itself, does it work? No reason it shouldn't. Maybe you think you're passing a value to func(), but you're really not. In order to get what you say, you _have_ to be passing an empty string as the first parameter. Wait... you realize that if you call func(''); That $a in the function will be an empty string, right? $b would get the default value of 2. They would only get that default value if you do not include that parameter in the function call at all. ---John Holmes...
