Hey,

Just a quick appeal for suggestions re some code, able to pass varying
numbers of arguments...

I have a function which can accept varying numbers of arguments. It in
turn calls a function whose argument list can vary in length.

At the moment, I have something along the lines of...

************************************************************
function varargsfunction(){

switch(func_num_args()){
case 0:
$value = function($inputargs[0]);
break;

case 1:
$value = function($inputargs[0], $inputargs[1]);
break;

case 2:
$value = function($inputargs[0], $inputargs[1], $inputargs[2]);
break;

etc.......

}

return otherfunction($value);

}
************************************************************

It works fine, but I am obviously restricted by the length of my case
statement. Also, as you can see it's not a very pretty solution!!

Is there a way to dynamically build the argument list such that it does
not require me to write out every possible case into a big switch
statement?


Any help greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.
Adam.
