Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #8290 Updated: allow func_*_arg?() functions as function parameters inside a function

Those few keystrokes aren't such a PITA... Anyway, in most cases, when I need more than 1 argument, or use it in more than just one place, I assign them in the beginning of the function's body. However, when the body's reasonably short to prevent obfuscation, and in quite a few different sets of circumstances, st like foo() { $x = bar( $arg1 = func_get_arg( 0 ) ) ; ... } ; comes in handy.
