PHP4: Multi-D Array into a Function

[Anon]

Greets ...

A funny thing happened to me on the way into a script ... I found that I
could not pass a multi-demensional array into a function using GLOBAL.

$MyNav[key($NavArray)]="hide"
$MyNav[key($NavArray)][page]="yes";

echo "$MyNav["Awards_Players"]["page"];

That yeilds me "h"

Further investigation found:

echo "$MyNav["Awards_Players"][0];
echo "$MyNav["Awards_Players"][1];
echo "$MyNav["Awards_Players"][2];
echo "$MyNav["Awards_Players"][3];

Yielded me: hide

Now this I just don't understand ... is PHP assuming that if it doesn't spot
a multi-D info that the bracket on the end is a "index" into the data stored
in the array??

How do I get around this?? I really don't want to pass that stuff into the
function since it might get modified and read by other functions ... I
really just want to GLOBAL the array and all demensions of the array ...

use

print_r($multi_dim_array);

to see just what it is you have in that array,
so you can make sure you do what you think you are doing.

Ahh ... thanks for the advice ... but I did an "echo" on the data in the array before I passed it into the Function to verify that there was indeed data there.

I also tried it with and without quotes in all permutations ... to make sure that quoting was not a problem.

So ... the issue still stands:

It seems that the Multi-Demension part of an array does not "pass" into a function by means of the "Global" statement ... I believe it will pass in from the () part of the function ... but I really don't want to do that.
