function overloading?

[Anon]

Hi,
do the php support the function overloading or not?? I want to save two funtions with the same name but with different arguments in a script .
Is that possible or not.
thanks

yes, it's supported, but in another way as known in java, for example:

you can set default values for parameters:

function do($id, $name, $something='34', $nothing=false, $another='')

you don't have to set "something" or "nothing" or "another" here; default values (that can also be false/''/0 etc.) will be used. this is much like normal function oveloading.
