Orio Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Default values is what you are looking for. See [url=http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php]this[/url] page for more info (scroll down to default argument values).This is how it's done:[code]function setup_page ($title = "Untitled"){echo "<html><head><title>My Database $title</title>";}[/code]Orio.

.josh Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 [code]function setup_page ($title) { $title = (isset($title) || trim($title) != 0) ? "My Database $title" : "NO TITLE"; echo "<html><head><title>$title</title>";}[/code]but orio's is better. kinda. I guess it depends on where the $title data is coming from.

corbin Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 English isn't your first language, is it?[code]function setup_page ($title = 'NO TITLE') {echo "<html><head><title>";if($title != 'NO TITLE') { echo "My Database $title"; } else { echo $title; }echo "</title>";}[/code]That should work...

alpine Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 This should work, look at the examples below:[code]<?phpfunction setup_page($title = false){if($title == false) $title = "NO TITLE";echo "<html><head><title>My Database $title</title>";}setup_page($title); // result: NO TITLE$title = "";setup_page($title); // result: NO TITLE$title = "foo";setup_page($title); // result: foo?>[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.josh Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 All of the suggestions here should work. If it's not working, then your problem is somewhere else. You're going to have to post some other code. For instance, post the portion of your code and surrounding lines, where you call this function, including where you assign the data that's being passed to the function.

alpine Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Agree on something else being your problem if you have tried all solutions here, but not all of these suggestions work (on my server anyhow)A simplified collection of the proposed soulutions, just one works IF $title is set as "", two of them works if $title is not defined at all[code]<?phpfunction setup_page1($title = false){if($title == false) $title = "NO TITLE";echo $title ."<br />";}function setup_page2($title = "Untitled"){echo $title ."<br />";}function setup_page3($title){$title = (isset($title) || trim($title) != 0) ? "$title" : "NO TITLE";echo $title ."<br />";}$title = "";setup_page1($title); // prints "NO TITLE"setup_page2($title); // prints nothingsetup_page3($title); // prints nothing - but if $title is absent, this one works?>[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
