Re: switch-statement overrides use of global arrays?

Well, the switch statement will only run ONE of the functions, never both. The default runs and then you break out of the switch, also: shouldn't default be at the bottom of the switch? or is that just convention? Anyways, there is no way for main() to ever "pass" anything to test_one(), since only one or the other is called in the switch (unless your switch is in a loop and $action changes in that loop). Oh, your passing it back in via a form and then telling it to use: test_one. Oh, ummm, everytime you submit the code you are calling a new "instance" of the script. It will never remember variables between instances unless they are passed to the script via POST and hidden fields. At least as far as I know...but I might be missing something. I would try and do whatever you are trying to do without resorting to a resubmit or just pass the variable to the function inside main: test_one($array_global); Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
