I'm trying to set a default value for a variable in a php function. See function below. With the following, it gives me an error because I'm using a variable: function RunQuery($sql,$datasource=$app_mySQL_DSN) if I change it to this, it works: function RunQuery($sql,$datasource="theDSN") Any ideas as to my this is happening or if there is a work around?
