 You can set the third parameter to any default value you like
 
 ::
 
-	 $my_shape = elements(array('color', 'shape', 'height'), $array, NULL);
+	 $my_shape = elements(array('color', 'shape', 'height'), $array, 'foobar');
 
 The above will return the following array
 
 ::
 
 	array(     
-		'color' 	=> 'red',     
-		'shape' 	=> 'round',     
-		'height'	=> NULL
+		'color' 	=> 'red',

 This is useful when sending the $_POST array to one of your Models.
