In PHP, there are several ways to pass parameters to functions.

  1. Positional parameters: This is the most common way, where parameters are passed to the function in the order they were defined. For example:
function add($a, $b) {
    return $a + $b;
}
echo add(2, 3); // 输出 5
  1. Default parameters: Default values can be assigned to parameters in a function definition. If a corresponding argument is not passed when calling the function, the default value will be used. For example:
function greet($name = "John") {
    echo "Hello, $name!";
}
greet(); // 输出 Hello, John!
greet("Alice"); // 输出 Hello, Alice!
  1. Retrieve an array of all the arguments passed to a function.
function sum() {
    $args = func_get_args();
    $total = 0;
    foreach ($args as $arg) {
        $total += $arg;
    }
    return $total;
}
echo sum(2, 3, 4); // 输出 9
  1. Associative array parameters: You can pass an associative array as a parameter and access the corresponding value using the key name. For example:
function greet($params) {
    echo "Hello, " . $params['name'] . "!";
}
greet(['name' => 'Alice']); // 输出 Hello, Alice!

These are common methods in PHP for passing parameters to functions, choose the appropriate method based on your actual needs.
