# func_get_arg

(PHP 4 )

func_get_arg -- Return an item from the argument list

## Description

mixed func_get_arg ( int arg_num)

Returns the argument which is at the `arg_num`'th offset into a user-defined function's argument list. Function arguments are counted starting from zero. func_get_arg() will generate a warning if called from outside of a function definition.

If `arg_num` is greater than the number of arguments actually passed, a warning will be generated and func_get_arg() will return `FALSE`.

    <?php
    function foo() {
         $numargs = func_num_args();
         echo "Number of arguments: $numargs<br>\n";
         if ($numargs >= 2) {
         echo "Second argument is: " . func_get_arg (1) . "<br>\n";
         }
    }

    foo (1, 2, 3);
    ?>

func_get_arg() may be used in conjunction with func_num_args() and func_get_args() to allow user-defined functions to accept variable-length argument lists.

> Note: This function was added in PHP 4.
