@keuleu @jcaplan You can use reflexion to resolve your problem: <?php class meuh { function prout($foo = 'hello world'){ $r = new ReflectionObject($this); foreach ($r->getMethod(__FUNCTION__)->getParameters() as $p){ if($p->isOptional() && is_null(${$p->name})){ ${$p->name} = $p->getDefaultValue(); } } return $foo; } } $m = new meuh(); var_dump($m->prout('blah')); // display: string 'blah' (length=4) var_dump($m->prout(null)); // display: string 'hello world' (length=11) ?> Optional NULL args will be redefined by default value. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 94.228.180.154 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110182 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110182/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110182/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110182/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110182/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110182/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110182/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110182 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110182 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
