RE: [PHP-DEV] Returning arrays from functions

I do this all the time, in fact I even return multi-dimension arrays too. <?php $a = array("Goodbye", "Cruel", "World"); function getArray ( $ar ) { return $ar; } var_dump(getArray($a)); ?> ==== OUTPUT ===== array(3) { [0]=> string(7) "Goodbye" [1]=> string(5) "Cruel" [2]=> string(5) "World" } Chris -----Original Message----- From: Brendan W.

I'm wondering if this is a 'bug' or a 'feature' (is it because nobody has fixed function returns to allow arrays, or is it done on purpose?). -Brendan ----- Brendan W.
