The 'Skip Params' RFC (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/skipparams) went to vote and was declined. The 'named params' RFC (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/named_params) author has been working on stuff they feel is more important. > Reading over some old code, this way it would be a lot easier to understand what that second > parameter boolean = true is: You can do this right now, if you want to: getIdByTitle('sample', $insert = true); > About syntax: $insert => true seems kind of confusing: > $insert = true; > getIdByTitle('sample', $insert => $insert) You shouldn't need it for the case where you're actually already using a parameter e.g. getIdByTitle('sample', $insert); already indicates what the parameter is. The only place where you could argue this syntax is needed is when you're passing in just a bare 'true' which has no syntactic meaning associated with it. That syntax works for all versions of PHP, so I guess a new syntax that achieves the same thing is unlikely to be that popular an idea. cheers Dan
