Passing assoc. arrays and losing the key

[Anon]

Hello,

I am having some problem passing an associative array to a function, and losing the associative incicies for the passed array.

<pre>
// Begin hacky example ...
$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE ID = $id");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)) {
view_a_row($row);
}

function view_a_row($row)
{
echo "$row[ID]";
echo "$row[Name]";
echo "$row[Gender]";
}
</pre>

For some reason, in certain situations, this will not work, and the associative indicies are lost. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what am I doing wrong.

Any help or pointers would be welcomed

Thnaks
Chris

Upon further investigation, it would appear that its the entire array that gets lost. That is, the passed variable is no longer an array at all.
