I haven't been following this thread, but I seem to remember discussion on php-general at some point about the fact that key() and current() took their argument by reference without any actual need to. I think there was a post by Rasmus that said this behaviour would change in the near future, which I assume is the change you quote, but without searching the archives I can't be more specific. -- Jasper Bryant-Greene General Manager Album Limited e: jasper@album.co.nz w: http://www.album.co.nz/ b: http://jbg.name/ p: 0800 4 ALBUM (0800 425 286) or +64 21 232 3303 a: PO Box 579, Christchurch 8015, New Zealand
