mysqli_stmt_bind_param with lists

Is there any way to get mysqli_stmt_bind_param to take the bind parameters as an array? It seems to see an array as a single item, rather than detecting an array and expanding the elements. I have tried any number of tricks to split an array into an anonymous list of variables within the function call to mysqli_stmt_bind but to no avail. Any ideas? This is going to be extremely annoying, to the point of useless, otherwise. -Bluejack PS: the only thing i can think of so far is to use extract on the array, and then switching on the number of elements in the array to a sequence of bind_params calls, each of which taking the right params that have been extracted to the symbol table.
