note 51707 added to function.array-walk

While Hayley's comments about pass-by-reference will work for now, this is a deprecated feature. I've been working with array_walk in a class and inside the callback I want to alter a member field of the object. What I've discovered is that the $this object present during the invokation of the callback is a copy of the original object. This of course means that your modifications will be lost when you return from the array_walk call. The only solutions I've come up with for this is to use the runtime pass-by-reference mechanism to provide a reference to the field I want to modify and get the deprecation warning or break the encapsulation of my class by using a global. (YUCK!) Can a PHP guru show me what I've missed (if anything) regarding this issue? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-walk.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51707 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51707&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51707&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51707&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51707&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51707&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51707&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
