AbraCadaver Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks for the replys. I just wasnt sure. Sometimes it can look right but still be all wrong, lol. Glad to help. Just to clarify, you are actually passing values TO the function by reference so the function is actually modifying the variable that you passed. Returning a reference is different, you return a reference to something created in the function (must be persistent) like an object var or something.
