RE: FW: [PHP-WIN] Passing arrays by reference

Ok, well... While that was just an example.. In my real code, I'm attempting to pass 2 arrays by reference, and the function I'm passing to is in an include file. Is passing my reference something that is commonly done in PHP or do most developers use globals? I'm just trying to be as efficient as possible. :-) Thanks, Jim -----Original Message----- From: ????????? ???????
