Re: Optional pass-by-reference parameters?

I would like to have an optional pass-by-reference. i.e. you can call the function w/o the variable. Basically, like how you don't need to pass $matches to the preg_match function. I've tried, function some_func(&$var = null) and this doesn't work. func_get_args only gets copies, does anyone have any other solutions?

use php5. the following is from a method that has worked since php5beta3: static function findRange( $className, $order = null, $first = null, $skip = null, $f = null, &$totalcount = null, $trans = false, $autocommit = false, $minimal = false) { /**/ }
