RE: [PHP] foreach loop

actually the logic is follow: every array has a key, therefore, you use: foreach($variables as $key => $value) { $variables[$key] = strip_tags($value); $variables[$key] = AddSlashes($value); } where you get an array element with whatever key it uses, work on it's value and assign it back with the original key, overriding it in other words.

For instance: $variables = array($author_firstname, $author_lastname, $author_dob, $author_dod, $author_bio); foreach($variables as $value) { $value = strip_tags($value); $value = AddSlashes($value); } will the values be changed outside of the loop?
