Ah yes, I forgot that I added that... I was trying to follow JDS'
advice.

Okay, that works... but now that leaves the question of why didn't my
original code work?

Are you shore you don't want to pass array by reference like this:

<?
function r_array(&$array ){
$array[0][0] = "a";
$array[0][1] = "b";
$array[1][0] = "c";
$array[1][1] = "d";
}

r_array($array2 );
print_r($array2 );
?>
