Im creating a function that has an argument, but I want the argument to be optional!

Does anyone know how I would do this?

PHP Code:

function myFunction($argument_1 = 'default') {
} 


Just assign it a default value

ahhh simple! Thanks

Hmmm do you know how I would go about getting this to work?

PHP Code:

function myDate ($stamp = time())
    { 


But I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ')' in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\mattPealingDesign\script\php \myDate.php on line 5

How about this?

PHP Code:

$time = time();
function myDate($stamp = $time) { 


Thanks but that doesn't work either!

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

do this:

PHP Code:

function myDate($stamp = "") {
if(empty($stamp)) {
$stamp = time();
}
