(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
func_num_args — Returns the number of arguments passed to the function
Gets the number of arguments passed to the function.
This function may be used in conjunction with func_get_arg() and func_get_args() to allow user-defined functions to accept variable-length argument lists.
This function has no parameters.
Returns the number of arguments passed into the current user-defined function.
Generates a warning if called from outside of a user-defined function.
Example #1 func_num_args() example
<?php
function foo()
{
echo "Number of arguments: ", func_num_args(), PHP_EOL;
}
foo(1, 2, 3);
?>The above example will output:
Number of arguments: 3
Note:
As of PHP 8.0.0, the func_*() family of functions is intended to be mostly transparent with regard to named arguments, by treating the arguments as if they were all passed positionally, and missing arguments are replaced with their defaults. This function ignores the collection of unknown named variadic arguments. Unknown named arguments which are collected can only be accessed through the variadic parameter.
