TalkPHP - View Single Post - Like in python you think you will be able to define argument....

If I understand you correctly, you can do this in PHP already (kinda)

For example:

PHP Code:


			
<?php



function sayHello($name)

{

    echo 'Hello ' . $name;

}



sayHello($name = 'Alan');



// Outputs: Hello Alan

Although technically all this is doing is creating a new global variable called $name, then assigning it the value of 'Alan', then passing the $name variable to the sayHello() function.
