$FONT_OPEN = "<font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"2\">";
$FONT_CLOSE = "</font>";

function print_text ($print_text, $fo=$FONT_OPEN, $fc=$FONT_CLOSE) {
	printf( "%s%s%s\n", $fo, $print_text, $fc );
	return 1;
}

gives a parse error at the function declaration.

as argument defaults.  That includes strings, numbers and constants - nothing else is supported (including variables).
