Is it possible to grab a variable number of parameters and send the appropriate amount to another function?

<?php

$this->db->prepare("SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE (`id`=?)");
$this->db->bind('ii', $id1);

$this->db->prepare("SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE (`id`=? AND `other_id`=?)");
$this->db->bind('ii', $id1, $id2);

// DB class
function bind () {
  $args = func_get_args();
  $this->statement->bind_param($args[0], $args[1], ...);
}
?>

Ok, is it possible to send any number of variables to db->bind() in order to send those to statement->bind_param()?

Or, if someone else has a better db abstraction method, feel free to educate...

I'm confused as your code looks like it's already doing what you're asking. It's hard to tell without seeing what bind_param() looks like. But just a thought to use arrays in one of two ways:

// 1.
$this->db->bind('ii', $id1, $id2);

function bind () {
        $args = func_get_args();
        $this->statement->bind_param($args);
        // then bind_param() can count the number of args and use them
}

//2.
$this->db->bind('ii', array($id1, $id2));

function bind ($var, $ids) {    
        // pass thru to bind_param()
        $this->statement->bind_param($var, $ids);
        // then bind_param() can use the $ids array
        // or count the ids and send individual args to bind_param()
}

As I said, it's kind of hard to tell without knowing exactly what you want to achieve.

One of the more elegant ways that I have seen is to pass required args and then an array of args that the receiving function can use, like:

$this->db->bind('ii', array('someoption'=>$id1, 'feature'=>$id2, 'action'=>'doit'));

Need more info on the desired outcome.
