Named arguments in PHP 8

named_arguments.php

<?php

// Named arguments were introduced in PHP 8, 
// and they allow you to pass arguments to a function or method by specifying the name of the argument 
// rather than relying on the order in which the arguments are defined.

// Here's an example of using named arguments in PHP:

function createUser($name, $email, $age) {
    echo "Name: $name <br>";
    echo "Email: $email <br>";
    echo "Age: $age <br>";
}

// Using named arguments
createUser(age: 25, name: 'John Doe', email: 'johndoe@example.com');

// In the above example, we have a function called createUser() that takes three arguments: name, email, and age. 
// We call the function using named arguments, which allows us to specify the values of the arguments by name instead of position.
// Using named arguments can make code more readable, 
// especially when there are many arguments or when the order of the arguments is not immediately clear. 
// It can also make it easier to add new arguments to a function without having to worry about breaking existing code that relies on argument order.
