func_get_args() problem

[knickerlas]

Hi folks
I need to create a wrapper function for a function that takes multiple args. I can't seem to pass the multiple args from the wrapper to the main function. Code is bellow, if someone can run it you'll see what I mean:

<?

function test_get_args() {
foreach(func_get_args() as $args) {
print ($args . "<br>\n");
}
}

function pass_to() {
// I'll do some extra stuff here
test_get_args(func_get_args());// heres the problem!
}

pass_to("one","two","three");

?>

Cheers

Well, when we read what func_get_args does, we realize that it returns an array of the function arguments. So either we

a) Change the test_get_args function to use an array, like so:

function test_get_args($argument_array) {
foreach($argument_array as $args) {
print ($args . "<br>\n");
}
}

or

b) We change the first one to pass a maximum number of items back to the test_get_args function:

function pass_to() {
// I'll do some extra stuff here
$args = func_get_args();
test_get_args(func_get_args($args[0], $args[1], $args[2], $args[3], $args[4], $args[5] ...));
}

You get the idea. Those about about the only two options you have. Still not sure of the necessity of the request, it seems quite odd. I would sincerely recommend taking a look at your methods but if not, I believe those to be your only options really.

Thanks Chris,
I think the best thing you suggested was to check my methods, I'll do that now.
