如何在php中只提供第二个可选参数？

Question

I have this function:

function generic_notify($subject = "notify triggered", $message = "<p>Generic notification</p>", $to = "[e-mail]"){
    EDD()->emails->send( $to, $subject, $message );
}

In some cases, I am completely fine to just call generic_notify(); and know that some function was called, because the above will send me mail.

In other cases, I would like to just change message, or just subject or send it to other email.

If I wanted to just change the message, is it possible? And if yes, how?

You can't but if I were you just put a condition inside that function

function generic_notify($subject = null, $message = null, $to = null){

    // your default value
    $defaultSubject = "notify triggered";
    $defaultMessage = "<p>Generic notification</p>";
    $defaultTo = "[e-mail]";

    $to = (!empty($to)) ? $to : $defaultTo;
    $subject = (!empty($subject)) ? $subject : $defaultSubject;
    $message = (!empty($message)) ? $message : $defaultMessage;

        echo "Subject: ".$subject ."<br>";
        echo "Message: ".$message ."<br>";
        echo "TO: ".$to."<br>";
}

// if you want not to change all the default parameter just leave blank
generic_notify();

// if you want to change the default parameter just put a value that is not null on it
generic_notify(null, '<p>Change Message</p>', null);
