Question

I want to add a value to an array while foreaching it :

foreach ($array as $cell) {
    if ($cell["type"] == "type_list") {
        $cell["list"] = $anObject;
        error_log(print_r($cell, TRUE), 0);
}
error_log(print_r($array, TRUE), 0);

The first printr is ok but the object added disapear when I leave the loop ant print the array.

I guess this is a normal behaviour, what is the best way to work around this “feature” ?

Answer 1

Just call $cell by reference like this:

foreach($array as &$cell) {...}

And it should retain the value. Passing by reference.
