How do I set default value of function parameter as today's date?

I tried:
function funcName($today=date('Y-m-d')) {do something}

Throws me this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ')'

Thanks.
#date #default #function #parameter #set #today

    try:
    function funcName($today=false) {
    if(!$today){
    $today = date('Y-m-d');
    }

    //do something

    }

    If this is for PHP
    try:

    define('TODAY', date('Y-m-d'));
    function funcName($today=TODAY);
