func_get_arg

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

func_get_arg -- Return an item from the argument list

Description

mixed func_get_arg (int arg_num)

Returns the argument which is at the arg_num'th offset into a user-defined function's argument list. Function arguments are counted starting from zero. func_get_arg() will generate a warning if called from outside of a function definition.

If arg_num is greater than the number of arguments actually passed, a warning will be generated and func_get_arg() will return FALSE.

<?php
function foo() {
     $numargs = func_num_args();
     echo "Number of arguments: $numargs<br>\n";
     if ($numargs >= 2) {
     echo "Second argument is: " . func_get_arg (1) . "<br>\n";
     }
} 

foo (1, 2, 3);
?>

func_get_arg() may be used in conjunction with func_num_args() and func_get_args() to allow user-defined functions to accept variable-length argument lists.

Note: This function was added in PHP 4.
