    <simpara>
     Applies the user-defined function <parameter>funcname</parameter> to each
     element of the <parameter>array</parameter> array. Typically, 
     <parameter>funcname</parameter> takes on two parameters.
     The <parameter>array</parameter> parameter's value being the first, and
     the key/index second. If the optional <parameter>userdata</parameter>
     parameter is supplied, it will be passed as the third parameter to
     the callback <parameter>funcname</parameter>.
    </simpara>
    <simpara>
     If function <parameter>funcname</parameter> requires more parameters than 
     given to it, an error of level <link linkend="errorfunc.constants">
     E_WARNING</link> will be generated each time <function>array_walk</function>
     calls <parameter>funcname</parameter>. These warnings may be suppressed by 
     prepending the PHP error operator 
     <link linkend="language.operators.errorcontrol">@</link> to the 
     <function>array_walk</function> call, or by using 
     <function>error_reporting</function>.
    </simpara>
    <note>
     <para>
      If <parameter>funcname</parameter> needs to be working with the
      actual values of the array, specify the first parameter of
      <parameter>funcname</parameter> as a 
      <link linkend="language.references">reference</link>. Then,
      any changes made to those elements will be made in the 
      original array itself.
     </para>

     <para>
      Passing the key and userdata to <parameter>funcname</parameter> was
      added in 4.0.0
     </para>
    </note>
    <para>
     <function>array_walk</function> is not affected by the internal
     array pointer of <parameter>array</parameter>.  <function>
     array_walk</function> will walk through the entire array 
     regardless of pointer position.  To reset the pointer, use 
     <function>reset</function>.  In PHP 3, 
     <function>array_walk</function> resets the pointer.
    </para>
    <para>
     Users may not change the array itself from the callback
     function. e.g. Add/delete elements, unset elements, etc.  If
     the array that <function>array_walk</function> is applied to 
     is changed, the behavior of this function is undefined, and
     unpredictable.
