Question

I’ve a soap function which expects 3 parameters that should be passed as strings with quotes.

function('id','username','password');

and in another hand i’ve an array which contains :

[0] = > "'id','username','password'"

[1] = > "'id','username','password'"

....

when i echo $array[0] out put is ‘id’,’username’,’password’ and when i use function('id','username','password'); there is no problem but when i use
function($array[0]); it won’t work.

i tested my array with echo, die, print_r … the output is the same as the function expects!!!!

any help ?

thanks ; )

Simply because it can’t work. If you have a function that needs 3 parameters, you can’t pass a single parameter. Also if is an array that contains the 3 parameters you need, the function still want and need 3 parameters. Thus, if you give the function an array, it will use just the array as the first one (so you’ll have an unexpected behavior) and take the second and the thirs as NULL.

It’s true that php is a little bit magic, but can’t do miracles.
