>&#13;    If your function is meant to accept a variable number of
    arguments, the snippets just described are sometimes suboptimal
    solutions. You have to create a line calling
    <B
CLASS="function"
>zend_get_parameters_ex()</B
> for every possible
    number of arguments, which is often unsatisfying.
   </P
><P
>&#13;    For this case, you can use the
    function <B
CLASS="function"
>zend_get_parameters_array_ex()</B
>, which accepts the
    number of parameters to retrieve and an array in which to store them:

/* see if it satisfies our minimal request (2 arguments) */
/* and our maximal acceptance (4 arguments) */

/* argument count is correct, now retrieve arguments */

    First, the number of arguments is checked to make sure that it's in the accepted range. After that,
    <B
CLASS="function"
>zend_get_parameters_array_ex()</B
> is used to
    fill <VAR
CLASS="envar"
>parameter_array</VAR
> with valid pointers to the argument
    values.

>&#13;    A very clever implementation of this can be found in the code

    function checks for the correct range of arguments. Then it uses a
    fall-through mechanism in a <VAR

    having processed the last case, it exits the

    argument processing needed if the function is invoked with only
    two arguments.
