Re[2]: [PHP] equivalent to perl shift function

Hi Chris, In perl ther is the concept of @_ which is the list of incoming parameter to a subroutine. It is possible to have something like my $sock = shift; As I understand this the first parameter of the @_ list would be shifted. I see for array_shift there must be an argument, the array name to shift, while in perl if the array name is omitted the @_ function list is used. Is ther a php equivalent to the @_ list or how might I use array_shift to achieve the same result as in perl?
