[RESOLVED] foreach abnormality?

[mrbaseball34]

Why would the assignment not update the $cat_products item?
Is there something I'm not aware of?

  // $cat_products has 18 items
  echo $cat_products[0]['quantity']; // 103

  foreach($cat_products as $product) {
    $product['quantity'] = 0;
  } // foreach($cat_products as $product)

  echo $cat_products[0]['quantity']; // STILL 103

From the PHP doc:

Unless the array is referenced, foreach operates on a copy of the specified array and not the array itself.

You want:

foreach($cat_products as &$product) {
    $product['quantity'] = 0;
  } // foreach($cat_products as $product)
