Hi I've been looking at some classes an have come across this notation for example : function remove(&$productid) { /* this function will remove a given product from the cart */ if (isset($productid)) { unset($this->items[$productid]); } } What does the "&" (ampersand) before the variable name mean ? Thanks Girish
