by specifying the first parameter as a reference: &$value. (See example 3)
Example 1
<?php
function myfunction($value,$key)
{
echo "The key $key has the value $value<br />";
}
$a=array("a"=>"Cat","b"=>"Dog","c"=>"Horse");
array_walk($a,"myfunction");
?>
|
The output of the code above will be:
The key a has the value Cat
The key b has the value Dog
The key c has the value Horse
|
Example 2
With a parameter:
<?php
function myfunction($value,$key,$p)
{
echo "$key $p $value<br />";
}
$a=array("a"=>"Cat","b"=>"Dog","c"=>"Horse");
array_walk($a,"myfunction","has the value");
?>
|
The output of the code above will be:
a has the value Cat
b has the value Dog
c has the value Horse
|
Example 3
Change an array element's value. (Notice the &$value)
<?php
function myfunction(&$value,$key)
{
$value="Bird;
}
$a=array("a"=>"Cat","b"=>"Dog","c"=>"Horse");
array_walk($a,"myfunction");
print_r($a);
?>
|
The output of the code above will be:
Array ( [a] => Bird [b] => Bird [c] => Bird )
