After I received my Google Wave account, I started exploring the service and I’m really impressed of how those guys got this thing to life and started to think of how this service might change the web and online communication specially.

Just before it ends

Mostly, I will be busy to blog anything in the upcoming days, the last activity for me this year and this semester was done today, al-7amdolelah it went just fine. I had a session in Faculty of Computers and Information today, held by depiak, titled “PHP in Action”. It was an introductory session for PHP and the web development track. It was supposed to be a live coding session, but I enjoyed talking to the audience a lot till I had no time to actually code the application we were supposed to code. The session didn’t talk about php only which is a good thing, we went into many topics, like linux and the open source concept, and what really relaxed me that the audience liked it and didn’t get bored of the off-topic discussions .

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:
