How can PHP functions be made more transparent and flexible through parameter passing?

To make PHP functions more transparent and flexible through parameter passing, you can use default parameter values and type hinting. Default parameter values allow you to define default values for parameters, making it clearer what values are expected. Type hinting can be used to specify the data type expected for a parameter, providing more transparency and helping prevent unexpected data types from being passed. 

function greet($name = 'Guest') {
    echo "Hello, $name!";
}

function calculateTotal(int $num1, int $num2) {
    return $num1 + $num2;
}
