In need of clarification...

Quick question: What is the purpose of placing an ampersand in front of the name of a parameter for a function?

Can you post an example of what you are referring to? The context in which its used can mean different things.

No, I highly doubt that. I've seen an ampersand in front of a parameter when it comes to declaring a function

<?
function someFunction($someParam, &$anotherParam)
{
...
}
?>

In that example, what is the purpose of the & in front of the second parameter?

Sorry, I was wrong..

That explains it a little better than I can
