The helper search_* functions use an array, but if you're providing your own callback, then $opts can be whatever you want it to be, such as a reference. Even if $opts is an array, doesn't PHP let you put a reference in an array? $opts['myref'] = &$myvar; -- tom telliamed@xxxxxxxxxxx -- http://www.fastmail.fm - IMAP accessible web-mail -- DokuWiki mailing list - more info at http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:mailinglist
