If $options is just another array to the function, then it would be my responsibility to process $options. If $options is the array of named parameters, how would I differentiate/docblock/autodoc/etc. Maybe func_get_named_params() (or something shorter) would be more suitable. Or would it matter? From the userland perspective, it would seem the purpose is to allow out-of-order and/or skipped parameters. Once the function is called, tools like func_get_args(), reflection, et al. should all work as if I hadn't used named parameters. If I had, then maybe func_get_named_params() and reflection would be the "proper" way to determine the named params. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
