Variable number of arguments in function

One variable holds a variable number of arguments of a function

[GavinTBS]

Hi,

I have a variable which holds a variable number of arguments that I need to pass to a function.

Any ideas how I can do this?

eg...

$other = "hello,gavin,test";
function($other);

Pretty much does function("hello,gavin,test")
I need it to do:

function("hello","gavin","test");

Baring in mind that the number of arguments in the $other variable is likely to change, and isn't a set number.

Any ideas?

Many thanks!

Hey,

Something like this should work:

$other = "hello,gavin,test"; 
myfunction($other);
function myfunction($other) {
$input = explode(',',$other);
}

$input[0] = 'hello' etc...

function("hello","gavin","test");

I think IanKelley has probably answered your query in this instance, but it might be worth bearing in mind that in PHP you can have Variable-length argument lists [uk2.php.net] as you are suggesting here.
