Dynamic Function?

ShawnK

I am making a function for this CMS I am working on and what I need is sort of like an IF statement when I call the function.

I don't know anyway to explain it but this so...

FUNCTION newpage($pg_type ....

 IF $pg_type == "dyn" then have it an option of liek ($pg_type,$othervar,$var) and so on?

IF you get what I'm saying please help moi!?

You can use [man]func_get_args[/man] or set defaults in the function to cover the spectrum.

You could accept an associative array as the function parameter (that's how I frequently see this done)

Your question isn't 100% clear, but checking the function args as mentioned earlier is one approach.

Another approach I like to take every now and then is using argument defaults. Example:


function myfunc($var1, $var2 = 'Yo', $var3 = false)

Here, I can do:

myfunc('var1 string'); // works ($var2 = 'Yo', $var3 = false)
myfunc('var1 string', 'var2 string'); // works ($var2 = 'var2 string', $var3 = false)
myfunc('var1 string', 'var2 string', true); // works (all 3 vars specified when function called)

Depending on what your ultimate goal is, this might help or it might not.
