Hello! The following PHP code: "First Element", "2"=>"Second Element"); $v = &$a['3']; print_r($a); ?> has this result: Array( 1 => First Element, 2 => Second Element, 3 => ) Can anyone give me an explanation for this? What is happening in the guts of the PHP interpreter when it gets these instructions?
