You can give $maybe3 a default value which will be used if it is not passed
in the function call.
You can only do this for the last parameter in the function.
function print_this ($value1, $value2, $maybe3=false)
{
do whatever
if ($maybe != false)
do whatever with $maybe
}

Subject: [PHP] Optional Parameter ?
Is it possible to have a function that looks something like
function print_this( $value1, $value2, $maybe3) {
do whatever;
}
that would expect $value1, $value2 BUT would not care if $maybe3 came in
or not ? and not give an error message that there is a missing paramter
?
I know I can do a condition within the function, but just want to see if
there is a more technical approach as in from php to ignore that
optional per say variable.
I did look in my PHP book by wrox, but no luck.
Thanks !!!
