Passing unlimited arguments?

[Wolphie]

How would I pass unlimited arguments in a function? sprintf() is a clear example of what i'm trying to achieve.

See the three functions mentioned at this link - http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php#functions.variable-arg-list

Here's how I do it:

 

function array_push_assoc(&$arr) {

 if (function_num_args() > 1) {

 $arrays = func_get_args();

 foreach ($arrays as $k=>$v) {

     if ($k==0){continue;}

     foreach ($v as $key=>$val) {

          $arr[$key] = $val;

     }

  }

  }

}

 

 

That's an example function I wrote a while back for someone, lol.

this sure is nice... i haven't tried passing variable length data (since i usually use array for this) but definitely this would come handy.. thanks!

DarkWater: Could you possibly provide an example of it in use?

 

Also, from what I can make out, it's still returned as an array, is it not possible to have unlimited arguments like sprintf() which isn't an array (i don't think) or have I misunderstood?
