Definition and Usage The isset() function checks whether a variable is set, which means that it has to be declared and is not NULL. This function returns true if the variable exists and is not NULL, otherwise it returns false.
PHP Function Arguments Information can be passed to functions through arguments. An argument is just like a variable. Arguments are specified after the function name, inside the parentheses. You can add as many arguments as you want, just separate them with a comma.
func_get_args
will do what you want:
function infinite_parameters() {
foreach (func_get_args() as $param) {
echo "Param is $param" . PHP_EOL;
}
}
You can also use func_get_arg
to get a specific parameter (it's zero-indexed):
function infinite_parameters() {
echo func_get_arg(2);
}
But be careful to check that you have that parameter:
function infinite_parameters() {
if (func_num_args() < 3) {
throw new BadFunctionCallException("Not enough parameters!");
}
}
You can even mix together func_*_arg
and regular parameters:
function foo($param1, $param2) {
echo $param1; // Works as normal
echo func_get_arg(0); // Gets $param1
if (func_num_args() >= 3) {
echo func_get_arg(2);
}
}
But before using it, think about whether you really want to have indefinite parameters. Would an array not suffice?
Starting with PHP 5.6 you can use the token "..."
Example:
<?php
function sum(...$numbers) {
$acc = 0;
foreach ($numbers as $n) {
$acc += $n;
}
return $acc;
}
echo sum(1, 2, 3, 4);
?>

You can use func_get_args()
, it will return an array of arguments.
function work_with_arguments() {
echo implode(", ", func_get_args());
}
work_with_arguments("Hello", "World");
//Outputs: Hello, World
Calling func_get_args()
inside of your function will return an array of the arguments passed to PHP.
