tx for your reply I found may be a answer in the commentary in this page : http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php But what is not clear is that php behave not like that since the 5.0 version at least. So why changing an intelligent behavior by something less efficiant ? This change will oblige to add conciderable coding and make the code more heavy. We have often functions where not all parameters are need. When there is only one parameter it's simple, but more often there is several optionals arguments, so the question is : How to set arguments 4, and not 2 and 3 ? Because at the moment it's not impossible to call a function without an argument (ie : diner($starter,,$desert); is wrong, and diner($starter,null, $desert); does not work fine) So I invite the whole team to look after this behavior to find a better way to use it.

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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39808&edit=1
