You are leaving out option 3 (which is not part of the RFC but should still be on the table IMHO): 3) Leave the behavior but change the parameter definition to nullable to match the implementation. > For instance, $search = ($_GET['q'] ?? ''); is both shorter and clearer than > $search = ($_GET['q'] ?? NULL); Your version is lossy as you cannot distinguish between "empty query" and "no query was submitted" any longer. While this is normally easily fixed checking other flags it needs additional work and cannot be done with a simple search and replace.
