Bug description: null does not set default in function
Description:
------------
Hi
Since I upgrade the php version, the comportement of the function default
argument as change.
Previously, when I set a parameter to "null" the function use the default
value of the parameter.
Now it kept the null value, and I do not find a another way to set the
default value.
See the code for more information
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function eat ($what='apple') {
print 'I eat '.$what;
}
eat(null);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
I eat apple
Actual result:
--------------
I eat
