Just a note for anyone wondering. This function doesn't include params that have a default value, unless you pass one in to overwrite the default param value. Not sure if that makes sense, so here's an example:

<?php
function helloWorld($ArgA, $ArgB="HelloWorld!") {
return
func_num_args();
}

// The following will return 1
$Returns1 = helloWorld("HelloWorld!");

// The following will return 2
$Returns2 = helloWorld("HelloWorld!", "HowdyWorld!");

This function comes in handy, and I believe is the only solution, when you have an optional parameter that can take any type of data.

For example:

<?php

// $data can be of any type, including null
function my_function($name, $data = null)
{
if (
$data !== null)
{
// Do something with $data
// If you call my_function('something'), this WILL NOT be reached
// If you call my_function('something', null), this WILL NOT be reached
}
}

?>

The problem with the above function is that you will never be able to use null as the value for $data. To fix this, use func_num_args() like so:

<?php

// $data can be of any type, including null
function my_function($name, $data = null)
{
if (
func_num_args() >= 2)
{
// Do something with $data
// If you call my_function('something'), this WILL NOT be reached
// If you call my_function('something', null), this WILL be reached
}
}

?>

This solution works because func_num_args() reports exactly how many arguments were passed when the function was called. It does not take into account when default argument values are used.

If you are using PHP 7 and func_num_args is in your base class which you extended, you can pass your arguments with the 'spat' operator.

class Sql {

public function doGetWhere(...$args) {

$num_args = func_num_args();
$args_list = func_get_args();

echo '<pre>';
var_dump($args_list);
echo '<pre>';
}
}

class Member extends Sql {

public function getWhere(...$args) {

$this->doGetWhere(...$args);

}
}

$member = new Member();
$member->getWhere('first_name','last_name','userlevel','email','where','email','=',$sub_email);

However, take note that if you 'new up' the 'Sql' class in your 'Member' class above, instead of extending it, you will not need to pass your arguments as a variable. Just my two cents. -Bruce tong

I had defined a function function_name(){ ...} as a drupal callback.
I try to get how many params where passed

I got a Error and my Site falls down

I've replaced func_get_args() instead func_num_args() and my Site was restored.

I conclude you can not use func_num_args() in callbacks.

Hope it helps.

The idea of func_get_args() is to construct functions of variable number of parameters like

<?php
function var_param_func(){
if(
func_num_args()==0){
//do one thing
}
if(
func_num_args()==1)
//do another thing
//get the args with func_get_args()
}
}
?>

If you want to pass the parameters on intact to another function, use func_get_args and call_user_func_array (careful - this one is only available in recent PHP versions). For example:

<?php
/* Print an HTML tag. This accepts a variable number of arguments:
the first should be the name of the tag, followed by pairs of
arguments that describe keys and values. The values are printed
with surrounding double quote characters. */
function printTag() {
$numArgs = func_num_args();
if (
$numArgs < 1) die("printTag given no arguments");

echo
"<" . func_get_arg(0);
for (
$i = 1; $i < $numArgs; $i+=2) {
echo
" " . func_get_arg($i);
if (
$i+1 < $numArgs)
echo
"=\"" . func_get_arg($i+1) . "\"";
}
echo
">";

}

/* Print an HTML tag with a newline on the end */
function printTagNL() {
$args = func_get_args();
call_user_func_array("printTag", $args);
echo
"\n";
}

printTagNL("input", "type", "hidden", "name", "SORTORDER", "value", $columnNo);
?>
