Hello,

how can a function get a pointer to an array? This does not work. I use PHP4.

$t = array("test" => "unchanged");
echo "<br>testarray unchanged:\"".$t['test']."\"";
changearray($t);
echo "<br>testarray hopefully changed:\"".$t['test']."\"";

function changearray(&$myarray) {
$myarray['test'] = "changed";
}

Before I tried it on my own I read this page:
http://de2.php.net/manual/en/language.references.whatdo.php

Be so nice to search for this string: "The second thing references do is to pass variables by-reference. This is done by making a local variable in a function and a variable in the calling scope reference to the same content. Example:"

The following example I used. I only tried to do it with an array instead of a variable.

What I need to read again to find my own mistake? I know some of php's commands work with an internal copy of a content.

Thanks for your help and advice.
