PHP Function Arguments - Use an array or not?

Question

I like creating my PHP functions using key=>value pairs (arrays) as arguments instead of individual parameters.

For example, I prefer:

function useless_

Your co-worker is right. Not only is it more code for the same functionality, it is harder to read and probably has lowered performance (Since you need to call isset for each param and you need to access an array to set values).
