This probably shouldnt be supported in the engine. I'm not aware of any
languages where this is supported. If you want a default value, then use
the existing capability to set it withing the scope of the function.

Description:
------------
Hey,
I've shown a function I'm trying to write that is giving me an error
because I can set an object as a default function parameter.
I don't know if this is a bug, or it wasn't intended to be possible but
I reckon it would be a good addition. I can't see a specific reason not
to have this functionality unless it runs into some issues such as
namespaces did.
Thanks :)
Reproduce code:
---------------
public function PadLeft ( Int32 $var1, Char $var2 = new Char ( ' ' ) )
{ // line 315
try {
$this->Value = str_pad($this->Value, $var1->Value, $var2->ToString(),
STR_PAD_LEFT);
return( true );
} catch ( xException $ex ) {
return( $ex->False );
}
}
Expected result:
----------------
I wasn't expecting to see the error anyway :p
I'd like to have the result I'm looking for returned if possible.
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_NEW in
D:\www\root\objects\TMP2ct7ths5f1.php on line 315
