when I write functions for columns(function column, null column, value
column, ...) in insert form (line 408 in tbl_change.php) I have to pass lot
of parameters. But it is not a good practice for refactoring. And use
global variables also not a good solution. So is it ok to use a parameter
array. I need to pass around 10 parameters. I like to see your suggestions.
