New Comment:
Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments
to the existing bug instead.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.
Already proposed in some other report. And no, this will not be
supported either.

Description:
------------
<pre>
If I have a function like this:
<?php
function foo($v1='aaa', $v2='bbb', $v3='ccc', $v4='ddd')
{
?>
<p>v1 is <?=$v1?></p>
<p>v2 is <?=$v2?></p>
<p>v3 is <?=$v3?></p>
<p>v4 is <?=$v4?></p>
<?php
}
?>
If I want to override the values for $v2, and $v4, I've gotta list all
the parameters after v1.
In python, if I had the same function:
def foo(v1='aaa', v2='bbb', v3='ccc', v4='ddd'):
print "v1 is ", v1
print "v2 is ", v2
print "v3 is ", v3
print "v4 is ", v4
#end foo definition
And I wanted to override the vars, I could call the function like
this:
foo(v2='xxx', v3='zzz');
But this isn't possible in PHP. The python way allows for more obvious
self-documenting code. Is there any chance this could get added?
</pre>
