Marv Albert here with the instant replay... including the behind the 
scenes action!!!

Phil learned of the array_walk() function, but he didn't fully read the
manual about it, so couldn't get it to work.

Phil goes ahead and posts in several places about it:
  * Here on the NYPHP Talk mailing list
  * http://forums.nyphp.org/index.php?s=6a864e7ce96614312a68fc4f4b5a0fa2&showtopic=52&st=0&#entry150
  * http://www.dbforums.com/t968865.html
  * http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=38181#38181
  * http://groups.google.com/groups?q=powell+array+walk+php&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=1cdca2a7.0311061401.6f9bed04%40posting.google.com&rnum=1

Then, back here on the list, Adam is kind enough to tell him how to get it 
to work.

But Phil still misses the point and thinks he's found a bug in PHP or the 
manual.

Now, Daniel goes to the manual for Phil and cuts and pastes the crucial 
text from the manual right here for him, PLUS provides an example.

Folks, stay in your seats, the game's not over yet!!!
