note 103296 added to function.func-get-args

i use this structure a lot for debugging. i always place the call to 'debugfunc' at the start of any function which i want to debug. the square brackets in the echod output are useful to see if there is accidental whitespace within string variables passed to anyfunc. if anyone can suggest a better way of passing the names of the arguments to debugfunc i would appreciate it. as it is works fine, but its not very universal... <?php anyfunc('val1','val2','val3'); function anyfunc($arg1, $arg2, $arg3) { debugfunc(__FUNCTION__, '$arg1, $arg2, $arg3', func_get_args()); /*do useful non-debugging stuff*/ } function debugfunc($name, $arg_names, $arg_vals) { echo "begin function [$name]. "; $arg_names_array = explode(',', $arg_names); foreach($arg_names_array as $k => $v) { $v = trim($v); echo "$v: [$arg_vals[$k]] "; } echo "\n"; } //output: //begin function [anyfunc]. $arg1: [val1] $arg2: [val2] $arg3: [val3] ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 150.101.100.168 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.func-get-args.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103296 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103296/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103296/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103296/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103296/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103296/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103296/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103296 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103296 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
