Example#1 call_user_func_array() example
<?php
function debug($var, $val)
{
echo "***DEBUGGING\nVARIABLE: $var\nVALUE:";
if (is_array($val) || is_object($val) || is_resource($val)) {
print_r($val);
} else {
echo "\n$val\n";
}
echo "***\n";
}
$c = mysql_connect();
$host = $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"];
call_user_func_array('debug', array("host", $host));
call_user_func_array('debug', array("c", $c));
call_user_func_array('debug', array("_POST", $_POST));
?>
Note: Referenced variables in param_arr are passed to the function by a reference, others are passed by a value. In other words, it does not depend on the function signature whether the parameter is passed by a value or by a reference.
