That depends on how you present the values - in a file? in a variable? echoing a constant? Mayhap you just subtract one?

LEARN ABOUT PHP
func_get_arg
FUNC_GET_ARG(3) 1 FUNC_GET_ARG(3)
func_get_arg - Return an item from the argument list
SYNOPSIS
mixed func_get_arg (int $arg_num)
DESCRIPTION
Gets the specified argument from a user-defined function's argument list.
This function may be used in conjunction with func_get_args(3) and func_num_args(3) to allow user-defined functions to accept variable-
length argument lists.
PARAMETERS
o $arg_num
- The argument offset. Function arguments are counted starting from zero.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the specified argument, or FALSE on error.
CHANGELOG
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
|Version | |
| | |
| | Description |
| | |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
| 5.3.0 | |
| | |
| | This function can now be used in parameter |
| | lists. |
| | |
| 5.3.0 | |
| | |
| | If this function is called from the outermost |
| | scope of a file which has been included by call- |
| | ing include(3) or require(3) from within a func- |
| | tion in the calling file, it now generates a |
| | warning and returns FALSE. |
| | |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
Generates a warning if called from outside of a user-defined function, or if $arg_num is greater than the number of arguments actually
passed.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
func_get_arg(3) example
<?php
function foo()
{
$numargs = func_num_args();
echo "Number of arguments: $numargs
";
if ($numargs >= 2) {
echo "Second argument is: " . func_get_arg(1) . "
";
}
}
foo(1, 2, 3);
?>
The above example will output:
Number of arguments: 3
Second argument is: 2
Example #2
func_get_arg(3) example before and after PHP 5.3
test.php
<?php
function foo() {
include './fga.inc';
}
foo('First arg', 'Second arg');
?>
fga.inc
<?php
$arg = func_get_arg(1);
var_export($arg);
?>
Output previous to PHP 5.3:
Output in PHP 5.3 and later:
Warning: func_get_arg(): Called from the global scope - no function
context in /home/torben/Desktop/code/ml/fga.inc on line 3
false
Example #3
func_get_arg(3) example of byref and byval arguments
<?php
function byVal($arg) {
echo 'As passed : ', var_export(func_get_arg(0)), PHP_EOL;
$arg = 'baz';
echo 'After change : ', var_export(func_get_arg(0)), PHP_EOL;
}
function byRef(&$arg) {
echo 'As passed : ', var_export(func_get_arg(0)), PHP_EOL;
$arg = 'baz';
echo 'After change : ', var_export(func_get_arg(0)), PHP_EOL;
}
$arg = 'bar';
byVal($arg);
byRef($arg);
?>
The above example will output:
After change : 'bar' As passed : 'bar' After change : 'baz'
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.
Note
If the arguments are passed by reference, any changes to the arguments will be reflected in the values returned by this function.
Note
This function returns a copy of the passed arguments only, and does not account for default (non-passed) arguments.
