Is it possible to grab a variable number of parameters and send the
appropriate amount to another function?
<?php
// Some class
$this->db->prepare("SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE (`id`=?)");
$this->db->bind('ii', $id1);
$this->db->prepare("SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE (`id`=? AND

$this->db->bind('ii', $id1, $id2);
// DB class
function bind () {
$args = func_get_args();
$this->statement->bind_param($args[0], $args[1], ...);
}

Ok, is it possible to send any number of variables to db->bind() in
order to send those to statement->bind_param()?
Or, if someone else has a better db abstraction method, feel free to
educate...
Thanks,

If this isn't what you are looking for, please explain a little more!
