For large memory arrays, it's MUCH faster and more efficient to use a reference in a foreach <?php $large_array = array(.......); /* use reference when retrieving value */ foreach($large_array as $key => &$value){ $value is not a reference } unset($value); //unset this else an incorrect use of this variable later may cause undesired effects ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 91.84.158.217 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98794 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98794/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98794/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98794/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98794/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98794/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98794/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98794 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98794 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
