Try this for kicks: $db=fetch_database_connection(); print "DB:".$db; function &reference() { global $x; $x=FALSE;return $x;} function inside() {$x=&reference();print " inside: ".(($x)?"1":"0");} $x=&reference();print " main x: ".(($x)?"1":"0"); $y=&reference();print " main y: ".(($y)?"1":"0"); inside(); //prints main x:1 main y:0 inside:0 So, umm, be careful with these globals and references combined, as they evidently can get a little screwy when crossed. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.return.php
