Pass in array as separate arguments in PHP

Question

I've got an array like this

array('item1', 'item2', 'item3');

Does anybody know how I would pass each item into a function seperately?

EG:

hello_world('item1', 'item2', 'item3');

hello_world($array[0], $array[1], $array[2])

or

call_user_func_array('hello_world', $array)

Thank you! $array[0] ... etc wouldn't help here as it needs to be dynamic. I'm passing items from the URL into the function so with /MyAction/hello/world and MyAction($item1, $item2): $item1 would be hello and $item2 would be world

How can array_map help here?

Lobo Over a year ago

Using array_map, it tells the function you want to apply to each item in the array. It's what I've understood that Andy needs.

Perhaps I have misunderstood the question. Whats the difference with call_user_func_array function?

Lobo Over a year ago

I do not agree with the negative that has been given to my answer. Is a valid response based on the vision interprets the question.

I wanted to pass the array into the function. Not map each of the arrays values to the output of the function.
