First post: How to write the optional parameters in PHP function prototypes

First post: Optional parameters in PHP function prototypes Why do you write this?

First, let's start. Write something simple.

Just started to learn PHP, when looking at PHP manual encountered a problem: in the function prototype with optional parameters, the optional parameters of the wording can not understand.

such as the Explode function

Array explode (string $delimiter, string $string [, int $limit])

Optional parameters are enclosed in "[square brackets]", then the third parameter is $limit optional.

But why not write it like this:

Array explode (string $delimiter, string $string, [int $limit])

It is impossible to understand the position of this comma.

Optional refers to something inside [] that is optional instead of a parameter, so press your way regardless of whether there is a final parameter after the second argument there is one, obviously this is not possible
