note 26502 added to function.unset

PHP3 to PHP4 unset issues. I was using unset freely in PHP3, to clear the contents of variables. and in PHP3, it didn't destroy the variable, it simply cleared its current contents. function foo(&$bar){ unset($bar); $bar = "new value"; } foo($bar) echo $bar; //IN PHP3 will print "new value" //IN PHP4 will print "" because the variable was never given a value. I took me forever to figure out why my functions weren't populating my variables... Learn from my mistake. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26502 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26502 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26502
