note 71090 added to functions.arguments

It is easier to define a function with optional parameters by defining the function name with blank arguments and the calling for the arguments within the function itself: function foo_display () { list ( $name, $address, $phone ) = func_get_args (); if ( false == empty ( $name ) ): $arr_return[] = $name; endif; if ( false == empty ( $address ) ) : $arr_return[] = $address; endif; if ( false == empty ( $phone ) ): $arr_return[] = $phone; endif; return $arr_return; } By this design you can call the function with any number of arguments passed: $display = foo_display ( "john doe", "minnesota" ); foreach ( $display as $keys ) { print "value: $keys<br>"; } will output value: john doe value: minessota or: $display = foo_display (); foreach ( $display as $keys ) { print "value: $keys<br>"; } will output a blank line. and there will be no error upon calling the function. Just a question though, how can I pass an array into the argument list of a function call?
