$args = array( 'name' => 'John', 'age' => 30, 'email' => 'john@example.com' ); $defaults = array( 'name' => 'Default Name', 'age' => 18, 'gender' => 'Male' ); $merged_args = wp_parse_args($args, $defaults); print_r($merged_args);
wp_parse_args() is a useful WordPress function that parses and merges arguments. It is commonly used for processing and validating input data.
In this example, $args contains the input arguments, and $defaults contains the default values. wp_parse_args() merges the two arrays, giving priority to the values in $args . The output will be an array with merged values, where missing values are filled in with defaults.
