Method overloading could mean overloading the method in a subclass so
to say "you can't do method overloading in php" is false. PHP does
support method overloading. It just doesn't support using the same
method name with different signatures.

But as you point out, PHP does allow optional / default values instead
which achieves a very similar result (and in fact I find it to be
superior in many ways).
