note 40967 deleted from functions.arguments by cmb

Note Submitter: heck AT fas DOT harvard DOT edu ---- I have some functions that I'd like to be able to pass arguments two ways: Either as an argument list of variable length (e.g. func(1, 2, 3, 4)) or as an array (e.g., func(array(1,2,3,4)). Only the latter can be constructed on the fly (e.g., func($ar)), but the syntax of the former can be neater. The way to do it is to begin the function as follows: $args = func_get_args(); if (is_array ($args[0])) $args = $args[0]; Then one can just use $args as the list of arguments.
