I have encountered a situation where I'm using the foreach() where I need to assign new data to the $value in the foreach loop, foreach($x as $key ==> $value). With PHP 5, you can do the ampersand to the $value but I'm using PHP 4? So, how do you guys do it? I tried this sample code but it only work in the child array but not the parent arrays... Food for Thought?? Thanks... --code-- function XmlTreeCDataAsciiLoopThrough(&$tree) { foreach($tree as $key => $value) { if (is_array($value)) { XmlTreeCDataAsciiLoopThrough($value); } else { if ($key == "VALUE") { echo $tree[$key]." ###<br>"; $tree[$key] = "#############"; echo $tree[$key]." @@@<br>"; } } } } --code-- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
