i have this script <?php $x = 1; $y = 2; $a1 = array(&$x, &$y); $a2 = array($x, $y); $a2[0] = 3; print_r($a1); print_r($a2); ?> i am expecting Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => 2 ) Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => 2 ) while i m getting Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 ) Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => 2 ) any ideas why this is happening?? or am i missing something..? the same is the case when i replace $a2[0] = 3; with $a1[0] = 3; $x = 3; Kranthi.
