1.2.1207. Too Many Parameters¶
Method has too many parameters. Exakat has a default parameter count which may be configured.
A method that needs more than 8 parameters is trying to do too much : it should be reviewed and split into smaller methods.
<?php
// This methods has too many parameters.
function alertSomeone($name, $email, $title, $message, $attachements, $signature, $bcc, $cc, $extra_headers) {
/* too much code here */
}
?>
