Just to be clear about this: Python does not allow using an unnamed parameter after a named parameter occurred, i.e. foo(bar = 3, 2) is not valid there. I would go as far as disallowing mixing of named and unnamed parameters completely. But that's probably just me. - Martin -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
