Can I set up a default method argument with class property in PHP?

Question

I\'m using PHP 5.2.6. I want to have a default value for an argument in a method, but it seems I\'m getting a bit too clever.

The class property blnOverwrite

Answer 1

you just can shorten it a little:

public function place( $path, $overwrite = NULL ) { 
    if(!is_null($overwrite))$this->blnOverwrite = $overwrite;
    ...
}

but thats nearly the same
