function myFunction($name, $phone, $zip="6666"){
echo $name.$phone.$zip
}

is the corrent format, but if you call it like this:
myFunction("name", "phone", null);
then $zip will equal null, not "6666"
something like this might help
function myFunction($name, $phone, $zip="6666"){
if (!$zip) $zip = "6666";
echo $name.$phone.$zip
}

Subject: [PHP] Easy Function Question?
I have a need to call a function, where all the variables used might not be
set. Is there a way to have a variable in a function have a default setting
if the variable passed to the function is VOID?
EXAMPLE:
$name="me";
$phone="5555";
//$zip is VOID
function myFunction($name, $phone, $zip){
echo $name.$phone.$zip
}
can I write...?
function myFunction($name, $phone, $zip="6666"){
echo $name.$phone.$zip
}
and then $zip will have a value of 6666 if $zip is VOID for some reason...?
I thought it was something like this, but I keep batting ZERO and there is
no mention of this problem in the places I looked in the docs.
Can anyone throw me a bone?
Thanks gang!
