Or you can pass the arguments as an array, and
then decompose them for use inside the function:

function my_function($args)  {
  foreach ($args as $arg) trim($arg);
  list($arg1, $arg2, $arg3) = $args;
}

Or pass an associative array to the function with
the keys being the names of the individual arguments
and decompose them as variable variables:

foreach ($args as $name => $value) $$name = trim($value);

This would also be useful if you want the function to
process a variable number of arguments

There are countless ways of doing this sort of thing,
it might help if you explained in more detail what the
data and the function is trying to accomplish. --doug
