[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
hi,
i have a model with a function which has some arguments with default values like...
Code:
function doSomething($arg1, $arg2="foo") { ... }calling that function from a controller like....
Code:
doSomething("stupid");returns a warning message saying
Quote:Missing argument 2 for Foo_model::doSomething(), called in /path/to/file.php on line XX and defined
what i'm doing wrong?
thanks
martin

If you are calling the correct function there should not be an error. Could it be that you're calling a function with the same name, but different parameters in a different/parent model?

By default whenever you create a function ALWAYS set the arguments a default value.
Code:
function doSomething($arg1 = NULL, $arg2="foo") { ... }It can be = '', = 0, = FALSE, whatever. PHP does not require type casting like many other languages but it is not only good practise to do so whenever possible, but shuts up the CI warning messages ^_^
CI seems to be stricter than PHP which I like, it makes my code better!

Actually, CI just sets the error output higher than what PHP is by default. It means that warnings like outputting a variable not set, missing arguments, et. are shown.
These errors still occur when using PHP without CI, they're simply not shown.

Ahh now I know! I will be enabling warning messages during development of non-CI stuffs, I like it ^_^
