From: matteo_tassinari_TM at libero dot it Operating system: Any PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Variables related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Implement "default" as a possible function/method argument value in calls
Description: ------------ I think it would be useful if we could use the "default" keyword when passing parameters to a method/function so that the value for the parameter for which "default" is passed automatically takes the defined default value, without need of knowing it. Test script: --------------- For example, consider this: function justToTest($a = 10, $b = 0) { var_dump($a, $b); } justToTest(); justToTest(5); justToTest(default, 5); Expected result: ---------------- The first call should show int 10 int 0 The second call should show int 5 int 0 The third call should show int 10 int 5 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65772&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65772&r=mysqlcfg
