note 71198 added to functions.arguments

This might be documented somewhere OR obvious to most, but when passing an argument by reference (as of PHP 5.04) you can assign a value to an argument variable in the function call. For example: function my_function($arg1, &$arg2) { if ($arg1 == true) { $arg2 = true; } } my_function(true, $arg2 = false); echo $arg2; outputs 1 (true) my_function(false, $arg2 = false); echo $arg2; outputs 0 (false) ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 24.20.184.145 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71198 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71198/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71198/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71198/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71198/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71198/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71198/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71198 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71198 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
