In other cases, such as sort() or array_push(), you really want to modify the array you pass to them. The implementors have probably tried to pick the most reasonable method for each function, and it seems to work out well for me. But I'm only guessing. /Nisse -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
