Named arguments

Gotta question for all of the gurus... I know you can have default values in a function. Is there anyway you can use 'named arguments' like Visual Basic?? I've got a large number of functions that I need to call is this manner. The use of 'NULL' 40,000 times is a major pain in the posterior to fill all of the missing arguments. If the writers of PHP could add a ability like this, they would be right up there with Twinkies, Yoo-Hoo's and God: function _browser($html_version = false, $explorer_version = false, $navigator_version = false) { blah-blah-blah; } $value = _browser($navigator_version := true); Just hoping someone could add this feature to save grief and ulcers...
