FW: Passing arrays by reference

["Jim MacDiarmid" <jim.macdiarmid@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks,  That seems to have worked.  Now, can you or someone tell me why I
can't seem to get it to work when I separate the function implementation
from the calling statemtent?   For instance:


Say I have the following function in file called "My_Function_Includes.php":
<?php

function foo(&$a)
{
	for ($i=0; $i < 10; $i++)
	{
	    $a[$i] = $i;
	}
}
?> 

In my index.php I have:

<?php
Include_once('My_Function_Includes.php');

$a = array();

foo($a);

echo "<PRE>";
print_r($a);
echo "</PRE>";

?>


This example doesn't seem to work however, when I paste the function
implementation into the index.php and run it, it works. 


Thanks for any help in advance,
Jim
