note 31705 added to language.variables

While this may or may not be obvious, to use references with a function, do it like this... function timeStampNotes($notes) { if ($notes != "") $notes = "\n\n[".date("m/d/Y h:iA")."]"\n".$notes; } timeStampNotes(&$contact_notes); notice that you use the & in the passing, not in the function itself... If your notes are getting to be large textareas (like with a database), this may be faster than sending it the normal way. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31705 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31705 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31705
