Hi

when calling a function:

$restricted = check_restriction($row_person['restriction_code']);

I run into a problem.

The function is defined as:

function check_restriction($row_person['restriction_code'] )

It would appear that i can't use the array variable $row_person['restriction_code'] in this definition.

the error message: 
"Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[', expecting ')'"

When creating a seperate variable from this array, it works fine...

Thanks
