[Resolved] array_replace()?

[ppowell]

I can't find anything in the PHP manual that addresses yet another Java-related Vector function that I'm used to doing (Vector.replaceElementAt(int index) ):

How do I replace a specific element in an array, when you can't do this:

$array[@array_search($word, $array)] = strtoupper($word);

This is because the name of the array is a variable..

print_r("field = $field = "); print_r(${$field}); print_r('<P>');[
// PRODUCES "field = myArray = array('hello', 'world');

Any ideas? Sorry for so many questions, I'm just not very competent today.

If you're having trouble using a variable variable array, then a quick and dirty solution is to set
$array = &$$field;
then use $array;

Thanks I didn't think of that one, I wound up writing my own array_replace() function instead.
