If "some_func( &$var = NULL )" didn't work, then you're most likely
using PHP 4. If that's the case then you could try passing an argument
by reference in call(real/execution)-time, e.g:
function some_func( $optional = NULL ) {
···
}
some_func();
some_func(&$my_var);
Note: beware that the directive "allow_call_time_pass_reference"
_must_ be On in your php.ini
This functionality is deprecated, since PHP 5 does allow
optional arguments-by-reference.

I would like to have an optional pass-by-reference. i.e. you can call the
function w/o the variable. Basically, like how you don't need to pass
$matches to the preg_match function. I've tried, function some_func(&$var =
null) and this doesn't work. func_get_args only gets copies, does anyone
have any other solutions?
