I create an array an then a reference to an element of that array. Then the array is passed to a function (by value!) which changes the value of the element. After that, the global array has also another value. I would expect this behaviour if I passed the array by reference but I do not. <?php $array = array(1); $reference =& $array[0]; echo $array[0], '<br>'; theFunction($array); echo $array[0], '<br>'; function theFunction($array) { $array[0] = 2; } ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-13 12:00:37] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I create an array an then a reference to an element of that array.
