Re[2]: [PHP] equivalent to perl shift function

Hi Chris,

In perl ther is the concept of @_  which is the list of incoming parameter to a
subroutine. It is possible to have something like

my $sock = shift;

As I understand this the first parameter of the @_ list would be shifted.

I see for array_shift there must be an argument, the array name to shift, while
in perl if the array name is omitted the @_ function list is used. Is ther a php
equivalent to the @_ list or how might I use array_shift to achieve the same
result as in perl?
