RE: [PHP] Optional Parameter ?

You can give $maybe3 a default value which will be used if it is not passed in the function call. You can only do this for the last parameter in the function. function print_this ($value1, $value2, $maybe3=false) { do whatever if ($maybe != false) do whatever with $maybe } -Stewart -----Original Message----- From: Jack Sasportas [mailto:jack@innovativeinternet.com] Sent: 21 March 2001 08:42 To: php Subject: [PHP] Optional Parameter ? Is it possible to have a function that looks something like function print_this( $value1, $value2, $maybe3) { do whatever; } that would expect $value1, $value2 BUT would not care if $maybe3 came in or not ? and not give an error message that there is a missing paramter ? I know I can do a condition within the function, but just want to see if there is a more technical approach as in from php to ignore that optional per say variable. I did look in my PHP book by wrox, but no luck.
