Passing Arrays by Values to Functions in PHP
How Arrays Are Passed Through Arguments? in PHP?
✍: FYIcenter.com
Like a normal variable, an array is passed through an argument by value, not by reference. That means when an array is passed as an argument, a copy of the array will be passed into the function. Modifying that copy inside the function will not impact the original copy. Here is a PHP script on passing arrays by values:
<?php function shrink($array) { array_splice($array,1); } $numbers = array(5, 7, 6, 2, 1, 3, 4, 2); print("Before shrinking: ".join(",",$numbers)."\n"); shrink($numbers); print("After shrinking: ".join(",",$numbers)."\n"); ?>
This script will print:
Before shrinking: 5,7,6,2,1,3,4,2 After shrinking: 5,7,6,2,1,3,4,2
As you can see, original variables were not affected.
