Check out the manual section on default parameters... But the basics are:
function top($image = "null") { if ($image) ... else ... } Or maybe: That will set image to be null, so that you can call top either as: top(); or top($someimage); -----Original Message----- From: sunny AT wde [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 9:58 AM To: php Subject: [PHP] how do i give optional arguments to functions?? hi all!! i'm writing functions like - ------- function top () { echo "blah blah blah";} ------- what i want to do is make it so that i can do - ------- function top($image) { echo "blah blah $image blah"; } ------- but also make the $image parameter in the top() as optional. so if its not there, then tell php not to worry about it. any ideas?? thanks! sunny __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
