Hi all,
Pretty sure this can't be done, but thought I'd ask any way...
I have a function where the 3rd argument is an array..
function foo($a,$b,$c) { echo $a.$b; print_r($c); }
Obviously the function does more than that, but anyway, I want the calls to this function to look a little cleaner than this:
foo("cat","dog",array("a"=>"1","b"=>"2","c"=>"3"));
Well you can always store the array in a variable and just pass the variable to the function as the third parameter. At least it would look prettier.
$vars = array("a"=>"1","b"=>"2","c"=>"3");
foo("cat","dog",$vars);
is there any other way to define the array?
foo("cat","dog",("a"=>"1","b"=>"2","c"=>"3")); or foo("cat","dog",{"a"=>"1","b"=>"2","c"=>"3"}); would be nice (Ruby has something like this), but I'm guessing it's not possible.
nope, that's the only way
Well... I suppose that you could create an object and then treat the object like an array (i.e. PHP5), but I doubt you want to do this unless you have a specific purpose for using the object in this way.
But, I'm asking just in case I've missed it in the docs.
TIA
