Array in a function?

[eternalprophet]

Say I have an array...

$people[0]='tom';
$people[1]='bill';
$people[2]='james';

now, how do I access those in a function?

function listpeople() {
for ($x=0;x<= sizeof($people);x++){
echo "people[" . x . "] <BR>"
}

How do I access the array from in the function? It says undefined variable (people)

why not pass it to the func?

function listpeople($f_people)
{
  // use $f_people here
}

// call with
listpeople($people);

if you want to change the array inside the function:

function listpeople(&$f_people)  // note the &, a reference
{
  // use $f_people here
}

// call with
listpeople($people);

finally, I think there's the possibility to declare $people global
