note 105207 added to reflectionparameter.isdefaultvalueavailable

A quick gotcha that I wasn't aware of, suppose you have a function definition like this: <?php function foo(array $bar = array('baz' => ''),$che){} ?> And you want to check if $bar has a default value: <?php $rfunc = new ReflectionFunction('foo'); $rparams = $rfunc->getParams(); echo $rparams[0]->isDefaultValueAvailable() ? 'TRUE' : 'FALSE'; ?> That will echo 'FALSE' because $che has no default value so $bar becomes required and the Reflection interface no long sees $bar's default value of array('baz' => ''). The solution is to give $che a default value also: <?php function foo(array $bar = array('baz' => ''),$che = null){} ?> And then $bar's default value will be visible again. While I understand why it does this, I still wish there was a way to get the default value without resorting to giving all params after it a default value also. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 24.143.236.65 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reflectionparameter.isdefaultvalueavailable.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105207 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105207/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105207/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105207/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105207/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105207/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105207/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105207 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105207 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
