[SOLVED] getting values passed to function like javascript

[asmith]

hey guys

 

I want to get variables that are passed to a function. 

 

in javascript , no matter how many arguments are defined for a fuction, we can get them in the argument array.

Is there a way to do such thing in php ? 

 

for example : 

 

func1 ($a,$b,$c)

{

.

.

.

 

}

 

Is there an array or something to keep those arguments ? like  argument([0]=>$a,[1]=>$b,[2]=>$c) ?

 

thanks

..? You just go

 

echo $a . $b . $c;

 

That would output the values for a,b,c

 

Unless I'm not following you here..

you could send an array instead of separate values

 

function doSomething($the_array) {
     $var0 = $the_array[0];
     $var1 = $the_array[1];
     $var2 = $the_array[2];
     // etc.
}

:-\

 

there are like 30 variables. I have to check all, so  I was hoping for an array and do a loop! apparently I can't :/

[BlueSkyIS]

yes you can.

 

function doSomething($the_array) {
     $var_count = 0;
     foreach ($the_array AS $a_var) {
          ${'var'.$var_count} = $a_var;
     }
}

... all that will do is constantly reassign var0, since $var_count doesn't change.

 

look in to func_get_args():

sorry to bothered you, All I wanted was not to use array inside the function. ( I had to change so many codes for changing that to an array)
