There are two diagnostics showing in 8.1, the deprecation on the
declaration, and a fatal error on the call.
What's happened is that given your signature:
> function blah($foo = "deffoo", $bar) { ... }
PHP has decided it doesn't make sense, and re-interpreted it as this:
> function blah($foo, $bar) { ... }
Then when you try to call it:
> blah(bar: "1");
You're missing the now-mandatory parameter $foo, so you get a fatal error.
I'm not sure exactly why this behaviour has changed, and can't see any
mention in the Release or Migration pages in the manual. It's not a
*huge* break, because named params have only existed since 8.0, but it
is technically a breaking change in a minor version.
The only relevant discussion I've found is this, where Nikita is I think
hinting at the new behaviour: https://externals.io/message/114007#114026
