[kwlug-disc] Your KWLUG web site account is at risk

[Joe Wennechuk]

As per our earlier talk,   I'm trying to better understand PHP, so when we see the &$ it is passing by value, and when it is $ it is passing by reference???, what prevents you from just changing the function call to the return call_user_function  what is it returning?
