note 80482 added to language.references.arent

If you have an array like... $a=array('x'=>1,'y'=>2); you might want have all variables referenced to the array elements. It works! My function: function my_make_vars(&$a) { foreach ($a as $n=>$v) { global $$n; $$n=$v; $a[$n] =& $$n; } } $a=array('x'=>1,'y'=>2); my_make_vars($a); # Now $x and $a['x'] are the same variable ;-) print $x.$y.' '; $a['x']=3; print $x.' '; # -> 3 $x=4; print $a['x'].' '; # -> 4 ---- Server IP: 217.160.72.57 Probable Submitter: 213.178.64.5 (proxied: 86.103.194.189) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.arent.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80482 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80482/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80482/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80482/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80482/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80482/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80482/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80482 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80482 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
