Hi,
I am running PHP 5.4 on IIs 6 on a Windows SBS 2003 server. Here is a
streamlined version of the code I am dealing with. I tried to trim as much
as possible to only show code that deals with my issue. The main issue I
think I am having is the global array statement within the function is not
working. From all of the articles I have read, I seem to be doing it
correctly, yet it does not recognize $InvReq as an array within the
function. The array works just fine outside of the function, though. Here
are the error messages:
Notice: Undefined variable: InvReq (line numbers point to inside the
function)
Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given
(line numbers point to inside the function)
If anyone could point out where I have incorrect syntax or something else
that would interfere with the global reference for the array within the
function, or tell me I can't do what I am doing using arrays, but assume I
don't have the ability to write to an external work table, which is why I am
trying to use an array in the first place. Thanks.

<?php
$InvReq = array();
// there is some database action here and other programming, but the core
issue is writing to the array, so assume I have all of the necessary data
// data loop to gather inventory requests ---

$hldpartID = ?????; //these variables are provided
by looping, so this check/write/update code snippet happens many times to
update/write to the array
if (array_key_exists($hldpartID, $InvReq)) {
$InvReq[$hldpartID] += $linetotal;
//if this line will create the array entry if it does not exist, then I
don't need the key_exists check, anyone??
} else {
$InvReq[$hldpartID] = $linetotal;
}
Part_BOM($hldpartID, $linetotal, 1); //function is
called the first time to set up the BOM

hand
