Re: Associated Arrays as function parameters

I might be off here, but I believe the issue with that is that it's a performance problem. You would have to check each key and function parameter for a match, which would be slow. You can, however, achieve what you're after just by using an array without any packing/unpacking. function foo(Array $args) { // Expected arguments $default = ["name" => null, "birthday" => null]; // Get actual arguments $input = array_intersect_key($args, $default) + $default; // final if (!isset($input['name'])) { // ohnoes you forgot your name } if (!isset($input['birthday'])) { // ohnoes you forgot your birthday } // otherwise use $Input['name'] and $input['birthday'] here... } On Sat, Mar 14, 2020 at 10:43 AM Midori Koçak <mtkocak@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Internals, > > I would like to as you a question.
