if that is the case & should appear before all the other variables as well.... and..... <?php function foo(&$val, $key) { if(is_numeric($value)) { $value = $value + 0; } } $_POST = array( '1', '100', '100.1', '100.123', 'a'); array_walk_recursive($_POST, 'foo'); var_dump($_POST); ?> is giving me array(5) { [0]=> int(1) [1]=> int(100) [2]=> float(100.1) [3]=> float(100.123) [4]=> string(1) "a" } ny idea y this difference arises? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
