Re: real optional parameters

yes, you just declare the default value of the arguments such as : my_function ($first = 'no-value', $second = 0, $third = null ) Note that the default value must be a constant expression and any defaults should be on the right side of any non-default arguments or you can achieve the very pretty function-overloading using the funtion handling function.
