--- Code: ---$red = 'red';
$box = $red;
$red = 'blue';

echo $box; //will print red

--- End code ---

while


--- Code: ---$red = 'red';
$box = &$red;
$red = 'blue';

echo $box; //will print blue

--- End code ---

To pass a variable by reference (and not just copy the value), you HAVE to add an ampersand in front of the variable.  I think this discussion itself might make a very good lesson.

So let me get this straight here....

In this example:
$red = 'red';
$box = $red;
$red = 'blue';

echo $box; //will print red

echo $red; //would output blue because it was reassigned in the last line right?
