apparently the ampersand means to treat $link as a reference, not as
an optional argument:
http://www.softwareprojects.org/php-functions-12.htm
I think the way to do it would be to set a default value in your
function so that if a value is set by the calling statement that
would override it:
function doEmail($username, $link = false)
{
if ($link !=== false)
{
// "doEmail($arg1, $arg2);" gets sent here
print "$link $username";
}
else
{
// "doEmail($arg1);" gets sent here
print "$username";
}
}
haven't tested this, but give it a try.

I'm throwing a warning on a function I created. I

make that argument optional?
<CODE>
//I simplified the code
function doEmail($username, &$link)
{
if (isset($link))
{
print "$link $username";
}
else
{
print "$username";
}
}
doEmail($arg1);
doEmail($arg1, $arg2);
</CODE>
Here is the error:
Warning: Missing argument 2 for doemail() in
/srv/www/htdocs/test-a/staff/email_scramble.php on
line 24
thanks in advance for any help.
