Here is a coding idea for you, in case you hadn't considered it...
function highlight($text=NULL, $needle=NULL, $strip_links=NULL, ...)
{
is_null($text) && $text = SOME DEFAULT VALUE;
is_null($needle) && $text = SOME DEFAULT VALUE;
is_null($strip_links) && $text = SOME DEFAULT VALUE;
...
}
We use
function highlight($p = array())
{
$p += array( # Also serves as documentation
'text' => SOME_DEFAULT_VALUE,
'needle' => SOME_DEFAULT_VALUE,
'strip_links' => SOME_DEFAULT_VALUE,
...
);
}
...
$highlight(array('strip_links' => true));
in cases just like this.
<shameless_plug>
Plus the patch from <http://cschneid.com/php> to get
$highlight('strip_links' => true);
</shameless_plug>
If named parameters for PHP are considered in the future then my main
wish would be that there is a catch-all array receiving all the
non-assignable parameters.
