I setup a logging system to help log & track any issues during testing. The goal was to have this logging system remove certain index keys for both 'objects' and 'arrays' in a recursive manor. I believe that the passed-reference (variable using with an ampersand or what I call a 'live link') is being 'pushed' up. When I check the logged xml (in the example) it often read 'omitted'. The variable was being changed even though the original call to function wasn't done using a passed-reference. The function would work correctly with the corrected code or the log_xml calls completed first. Maybe using $v is what broke the pass reference and it was just a 'copy' after that.
