<p>It appears that get_defined_vars() passes by value, not by reference.</p><p>this chunk of code: $a = "Hello"; echo "$a \n"; $arr = get_defined_vars(); echo $arr["a"]." \n"; $arr["a"] = "Goodbye"; echo $arr["a"]." \n"; echo "$a \n"; <p>produces this output: Hello Hello Goodbye Hello <p>You can't change the value of $a by setting $args["a"]. I'm very thankful to have this function, even if it's mostly useful for debugging purposes.</p> -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-defined-vars.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16599 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16599 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16599
