My Current Desktop

I simply love this..based on ubuntu 10.04, which is really an amazing system to use! You should give it a try!

bLOG updates

I have been working on the blog for sometime; I updated the system to the latest version, I have noticed nothing, I think it’s just some minor updates done after the release of the mighty 2.6.

I changed the comments layout, I did hate the last one, with borders every where, and I couldn’t have courage to view it in IE, because I know it was going to look miserable.

Late, but I thought it will look cool, I added the gravatars’ support to the theme’s comments template, it was enabled by default in WP 2.5, but you should hack the theme to add it, but I’m still not convinced with its position.

parameters with default values

It’s known that declaring a php function has the following syntax:

< ?php
function function_name(Parameters_list) {
// function
// code
// block
}
?>

an example of this can be like this:

< ?php
function nameAndAge($name,$age){
echo "Welcome $name, you are $age years old!";
}
?>

When I issue the following statement:

< ?php
nameAndAge("bingorabbit",20);
?>

I will get:
Welcome bingorabbit, you are 20 years old!

Most of us know that, and also we know that to set a default value for any parameter, we can do the following:

< ?php
function function_name($parameter1 = "default value", rest_of_the_parameter_list) {
// function
// code
// block
}
?>

which might take the following form:

< ?php
function nameAndAge($name="bingorabbit",$age){
echo "Welcome $name, you are $age years old!";
}
?>

so when I issue:

< ?php
nameAndAge();
?>

I will get:
Welcome bingorabbit, you are years old!

and when I issue:

< ?php
nameAndAge("Ahmed", 15);
?>

I will get:
Welcome Ahmed, you are 15 years old!

The problems is such declaration is that, you can’t just issue:
