EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      func_num_args(3) example

	      <?php
	      function foo()
	      {
		  $numargs = func_num_args();
		  echo "Number of arguments: $numargs
";
	      }

	      foo(1, 2, 3);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      Number of arguments: 3

       Example #2

	      func_num_args(3) example before and after PHP 5.3

	      test.php
	      <?php
	      function foo() {
		  include './fna.php';
	      }

	      foo('First arg', 'Second arg');
	      ?>

	      fna.php
	      <?php

	      $num_args = func_num_args();
	      var_export($num_args);

	      ?>

	       Output previous to PHP 5.3:

	      2

	       Output in PHP 5.3 and later will be something similar to:

	      Warning: func_num_args():  Called from the global scope - no function
	      context in /home/torben/Desktop/code/ml/fna.php on line 3
	      -1

NOTES

       Note

	      Because this function depends on the current scope to determine parameter details, it cannot be used as a function parameter in ver-
	      sions prior to 5.3.0. If this value must be passed, the results should be assigned to  a	variable,  and	that  variable	should	be
	      passed.
