note 30918 added to language.variables

I've PHP4 scripts and I need to make them work in PHP3.0.18 Any help? For example: //in PHP4 $VAR1=12; function myfunc($VAR1) { $VAR1=5; } echo $VAR1; it prints 5 in PHP4 instead in PHP3 it prints 12 It seems that PHP4 can pass variables by reference, and PHP3 can't. The solution for PHP3 is //in PHP3 $VAR1=12; function rw_msgopen() { global $VAR1; $VAR1=5; } echo $VAR1; it prints 5. This sintax is also ok for PHP4? bye -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30918 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30918 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30918
