Not neccesarily. You can declare the function with default arguments:

function whatever($a, $b = "something", $c = "something else") {
...
}

If no arguments for b and c is passed, the function will get the
defaults instead. This replacement will not be visible inside the
function. If this is of importance, or the defaults are calculated
somehow, you'd be better off using NULL as default value:

function whatever($a, $b = NULL, $c = NULL) {

if (!isset($b)) {
/* Calculate default */
$b = <<some complex operation>>;
}

}

Example 3 and 4 in the manual page describe your case pretty well:

<http://php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php>

In theory you could use error_reporting(E_ERROR), but that would be
purely cosmetic.
