Re: [RFC] Named parameters

Hi Nikita, Will it be possible to set the named parameter through using a parameter? i.e. can you do: function multipleParamFunction($var1 = null, $var2 = null, $var3 = null, $var4 = null) { //... } $paramToOverride = 'var3'; testFunction($paramToOverride => 'bar'); which would override 'var3' in the function. The syntax for setting a named parameter by a parameter clashes with some of the suggested syntaxes. Even if it isn't going to be possible to support this currently, it would be a good idea to not use a syntax that prevents support of this in the future. cheers Dan On Fri, Sep 6, 2013 at 5:39 PM, Nikita Popov <nikita.ppv@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi internals! > > I created an RFC and preliminary implementation for named parameters: > > https://wiki.php.net/rfc/named_params > > The RFC and implementation are not yet complete.
