If you want to perform an operation on every member of an array using
foreach, you can do:
foreach ( array_keys($array) as $key ) {
$array[$key] =& myfunction($array[$key]);
}
As always there are any number of ways to skin a cat, if you just wanted
to increment every member of an array you could do:
foreach ( $array as $key => $val ) {
$array[$key]++;
}
which is equivalent to:
foreach ( array_keys($array) as $key ) {
$array[$key]++;
}
