RE: [PHP3] Quick Question From: Dyas, Alex (alex.dyas <email protected>)

I'm not sure if you can legitimately overload functions, but this is one
'hack' to get round it if you can't:

<?
function foo($this)
{
        echo "Foo executed<br>";
        if(Isset($this))
        {
                echo "This:$this<br>";
        }
        else
        {
                echo "This is empty<br>";
        }
}

 <email protected>();
 <email protected>("bah");
?>

The @ will supress any warnings that come up when php notices missing
arguments, and Isset will determine if the argument(s) have been passed.
