note 72824 added to language.references.return

If you want to get a part of an array to manipulate, you can use this function function &getArrayField(&$array,$path) { if (!empty($path)) { if (empty($array[$path[0]])) return NULL; else return getArrayField($array[$path[0]], array_slice($path, 1)); } else { return $array; } } Use it like this: $partArray =& getArrayField($GLOBALS,array("config","modul1")); You can manipulate $partArray and the changes are also made with $GLOBALS. ---- Server IP: 217.160.72.57 Probable Submitter: 88.64.152.130 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.return.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72824 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72824/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72824/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72824/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72824/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72824/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72824/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72824 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72824 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
