note 49474 added to language.types.array

response to Sir_Fred If you print out the two arrays you will see that they are different copies and $arr2 is not a reference to $arr1. If it were referenced then adding an element to $arr2 would also add an element to $arr1. Maybe Im not understanding your comments. Can you give us a sample code that shows = returns a reference? <?php $arr1 = array(2,3); $arr2 = $arr1; print_r($arr1); print_r($arr2); $arr2[] = 4; print_r($arr1); print_r($arr2); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49474 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49474&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49474&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49474&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49474&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49474&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49474&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
