Note Submitter: uther pendragon ---- NOTE: in regards to passing the reference or "pointer" into the function, you should *not* prefix the variable with the '&' symbol! The use of them in the function prototype above is to illustrate that these variables will be referenced in the function. This is done automatically by php, do *not* do this: func(&$a)! see "Passing by Reference" in the php manual at: http://us1.php.net/manual/en/language.references.pass.php "Note: There is no reference sign on a function call - only on function definitions. Function definitions alone are enough to correctly pass the argument by reference. As of PHP 5.3.0, you will get a warning saying that "call-time pass-by-reference" is deprecated when you use & in foo(&$a);. And as of PHP 5.4.0, call-time pass-by-reference was removed, so using it will raise a fatal error.")
