Hey-
I would think you would need to define $array_test outside in a "global"
environment rather then inside the function since I think/thought it will
just stay scoped in there and that "global" was used to access variables
which weren't defined inside a functions scope and make it look outside.
In other words
//Define GLOBAL
$array_test = array();
switch(){
BLAH
BLAH
}
function main() {
global $array_test;
BLAH
BLAH
}
function test_one(){
global $array_test;
BLAH
BLAH
}
Hope that helps.
