I want to pass in a scalar int, or an array of ints (indices) to a function in a class. The scalar or array will be a class variable. Without knowing the max size of each index, or the number of indices, (as is required is most other languages), I can't figure out how to access the array in a flexible fashion. What I **WANT** to use as a clue is whether the passed $index value is a scalar, or how many elements are in the array. examples: function work_on_array( $value, $index ){ blah to $this->value_s_holder; .. .. } work_on_array( 7, array(4,5) ); work_on_array( 23, 1 ); The number of INDICES will not change during program execution, although I do not want to have to predict the range of the scalar/indices. any ideas? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
