315
* The parameter should only be passed a variable and not create the array or

* object inline to the parameter. The reason for this is that parameter is
317
* passed by reference and PHP will fail unless it has the variable.
319
* There is no return value, because everything is updated on the variable you
320
* pass to it. This is one of the features with using pass by reference in PHP.
