note 56331 added to functions.arguments

Of course you can fake a global variable for a default argument by something like this: <?php function self_url($text, $page, $per_page = NULL) { $per_page = ($per_page == NULL) ? $GLOBALS['gPER_PAGE'] : $per_page; # setup a default value of per page return sprintf("<a href=%s?page=%s&perpage=%s>%s</a>", $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"], $page, $per_page, $text); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56331 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56331&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56331&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56331&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56331&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56331&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56331&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56331&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
