php - How can I make my function execute even when no parameter is entered? -


i'm teaching myself php through book , make easier made myself function save myself having write echo "<br/>"; million times. function works fine after accidentally leaving out parameter , getting error tried make if left function empty add 1 <br/> can't seem work.

here code after last attempt (which try case null: echo "<br/>";):

function br($break){     switch ($break){         case 1:             echo "<br/>";             break;         case 2:             echo "<br/><br/>";             break;         case 3:             echo "<br/><br/><br/>";             break;         case 4:             echo "<br/><br/><br/><br/>";             break;         case 5:             echo "<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>";             break;         case null:             echo "<br/>";     }  }

any ideas? guys!

p.s. sorry if silly question, started learning php on monday , programming experience limited :)

try this:

function br($break = 1){  }

btw, case, can use:

echo str_repeat('<br />', 5);

which create 5 br's, take here: http://php.net/str_repeat
also, when in doubt something, first time check php.net documentation, there might function want already.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers
