Options that come to mind: 1) pass the string and explode() it to an array inside the function 2) explode() the string to an array and pass the array 3) bite the bullet and pass all 4 parameters separately I am sure there are many more ways to do this. > >Bonus question: In quoting strings, if I don't have to do any variable >interpolation, does it matter whether I use single or double quotes? > It shouldn't.
