I miss named parameters for function in PHP.

Is there a better way to do it than that:

function namedParams ( $ar ) {
	echo $ar['param1'] . " " . $ar['param2'];
}

namedParams ( array ('param1' => "Hello", 'param2' => "World!") );

--> Hello World!

I could have done something like:

$params = array (
	'param1' => "Hello",
	'param2' => "World!");
namedParams ($params);

But my feeling is that in both case, it look ugly.

Usually, named parameters are there for readability, which, in my 
example, is not really the case.

Is there any technique that I'm missing here?

Cheers
