[PHP-DOC] #19252 [NEW]: function only accepts scalars or constants as default values From: jc <email protected>
Date: 09/05/02

From: jc <email protected>
Operating system: Red Hat Linux 7.2
PHP version: 4.2.2
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: function only accepts scalars or constants as default values

Could you add to the docs in the section on functions and default argument
values that default values can only be scalers or constants?

these won't work:

1- function a ($b = $val) {}

2- function b ($a = another_function()) {}

This link offers some workarounds, eventhough it would be really nice to
be able to do #2, don't you think ;)
