## #14770 — val khokhlov — 2005-02-09T19:07:03+00:00

Hello,

     in php5.1 i get default value of omitted parameter only the first time
i call a function, all subsequent calls get the $tname set in the first call
(like static!). in php5.0 $tname is always empty if omitted (as it should be)
     php5.1 updated from cvs on 6.02.2005

[code]

function compile($sname, $tname = '') {
  if ($tname == '') $tname = preg_replace("!\.php$!", ".phb", $sname);
  echo " * source file: $sname\n * target file: $tname\n";
  ....
}
for ($i = 1; $i < $_SERVER['argc']; $i++) {
  $sname = $_SERVER['argv'][$i];
  compile($sname);
}

[output]

$ ./php test.php *.php
 * source file: class.php
 * target file: class.phb
 > compiled
 * source file: class1.php
 * target file: class.phb
 > compiled
 * source file: class2.php
 * target file: class.phb
 > compiled

Best regards,
 val                          mailto:val@vk.kiev.ua
