call function in itself?

[kilby]

Hello,
is it possible, to call a function in itself with different arguments, like:

function DoSomething($argument1) {
select database(with $argument1)...
if($result) { do something;
} else {
$argument2 = ($argument1 + x);
DoSomething($argument2);
}

if not, how do i manage this?

Thanks for any help,
Martin

You can do this (why not just try it instead of asking? :-)

You have to be very careful, however, as it is easy to get yourself caught in an infinite loop.
