# func_num_args

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

func_num_args -- Returns the number of arguments passed to the function

## Description

``int func_num_args` (void)`

Returns the number of arguments passed into the current user-defined function. func_num_args() will generate a warning if called from outside of a function definition.

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

    foo (1, 2, 3);    // Prints 'Number of arguments: 3'
    ?>

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

> Note: This function was added in PHP 4.
