Please keep discussions on list so that anyone reading this thread can follow it to its resolution -- plus which, someone else might still chip in with better ideas than me! The reference can be used interchangeably with the thing it's a reference to -- so if it's a reference to an individual element, no you can't use it with array_push() any more than you could, say, $arr['index']['array']['element']; but if the reference is to the parent array, then you could, just as you could with $arr['index']['array'] (if that all makes sense!). It might help you to read the manual section on references at http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php. Cheers!
