Hi Nikita,
Will it be possible to set the named parameter through using a parameter?
i.e. can you do:
function multipleParamFunction($var1 = null, $var2 = null, $var3 = null,
$var4 = null) {
//...
}
$paramToOverride = 'var3';
testFunction($paramToOverride => 'bar');
which would override 'var3' in the function.
The syntax for setting a named parameter by a parameter clashes with some
of the suggested syntaxes. Even if it isn't going to be possible to support
this currently, it would be a good idea to not use a syntax that prevents
support of this in the future.
cheers
Dan
