func_get_arg

Description

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.
