Is there a PHP equivalent to the python func(*[array]) feature to use the array as a series of arguments for the function? I can't seem to find one online.
Example usage in Python:
def f(a,b):
print(a, b)
f('abc', 'def')
f(*['abc', 'def'])
Outputs
abc def
abc def
Thanks in advance for any help.
EDIT: This is different to this because that question wants to use an array as a parameter, whereas I want to use an array as a series of parameters.
"..." is Argument unpacking, and can be used in the function definition, or the call
<?php
function add($a, $b) {
return $a + $b;
}
echo add(...[1, 2])."\n";
$a = [1, 2];
echo add(...$a);
Given a ...array() as the function argument, collect the (remaining) arguments from the call into an array variable:
<?php
function sum(...$numbers) {
$acc = 0;
foreach ($numbers as $n) {
$acc += $n;
}
return $acc;
}
echo sum(1, 2, 3, 4);
In PHP < 5.6 that would be call_user_func_array('f', ['abc', 'def']);
In 5.6+, you can do f(...['abc', 'def']); instead.
