function with variable parameter list

[Anon]

1. How do I make a function that can take a variable number of parameters?

2. Once I have created a function that can take a variable number of parameters, how do I use the variables?

May be you can use the dinamic variables, pass the number of parameters in another one and use somthing like this:
for($i=1;$i<=$numberOfParameters; $i++)
{
$variable="var".$i;
$content=$$variable;
}

hope this helps!!

what happens if you don't know what the number of variables passed to a function will be? The function should be called like the following:

myfunction($var1, $var2, ..., varn$);

where n is the number of variables passed. So both of the following statements would be valid:

myfunction($var1, $var2); //takes 2 variables
myfunction($var1, $var2, $var3); //this time takes 3 variables

This is an extremely BAD idea.

functions should have a set number of parameters.
If you want to pass a random number of values, put them into an array, an pass the array as a parameter. Then in the function you can use COUNT() to see how many values there are in the array and process them.
