yes, you just declare the default value of the arguments such as :

my_function ($first = 'no-value', $second = 0, $third = null )

Note that the default value must be a constant expression and any defaults
should be on the right side of any non-default arguments

or you can achieve the very pretty function-overloading using the funtion
handling function. Check it out:
