New Comment:
Unset deletes the function local variable $array, not the global $b,
despite $array and $b being in the same reference set. This is by
design. When $array is recreated it already lost its connection to $b.
Note that $array and $b point to the same data, but $array doesn't
"know" which other variables (in this case,the global $b) point to this
same data its pointing, so it cannot really unset $b.

Description:
------------
$b = array(1, 2, 3);
function b(&$array)
{
$array[0] = 1000;
unset($array); // <=====
$array = array();
$array[1] = 2000;
}
b($b);
print_r($b);
Test script:
---------------
Array
(
[0] => 1000
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
)
