Re: Passing by reference question.

Code would help, but I suspect you are passing reference to the function opposed to expecting it by reference on the actual function call. Ex: // Wrong way! myFunc(&$arg); # Deprecated pass-by-reference argumentfunction myFunc($arg) { } Use: // Right way! myFunc($var); # pass-by-value argumentfunction myFunc(&$arg) { } Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8971301/1935500 On Thu, Nov 29, 2018 at 7:16 PM Jeffry Killen <jekillen@prodigy.net> wrote: > Hello; > > What does this mean? > > Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in (path to > source file); > > > > I am trying to write a recursive function for doing various operations on > file system > segments; directories with files. > > I am currently working on a delete (rm -R) function. > > So in one recursion create a local variable to record the name of the > current directory that the recursive > function has been called on.
