Overloading Functions

[lives4him06]

Does PHP allow for overloading functions. That is, having two different functions of the same name with different parameter list such as:

function doSearch(int1, int2)

and

function doSearch(int1, int2, int3)

???

i don't think so, but you can define default values for function args like this:

function foo($arg1, $arg2, $arg3='') {
}

you could then put some branching logic in the function to deal with the two different options.

You can also use [man]func_get_args[/man] to dynamically load arguments.
