Stumped.

$num = 10;
function multiply()
{
$num = $num * 10;
}
multiply();
echo $num;

This prints "10" to the screen.

$num = $num * 10;
echo $num;

But this prints "0".

Why is that?

Duh! I just saw that.. Because there isn't a global declaration in the function, the variable doesn't exist to the "outside world". I feel teh stoopid this am. lol.
thanks for the drawn out expl.
