Compact does not work with references, but there is a short way to resolve this:
<?php
//$foo=array();
foreach( array('apple','banana') as $v) $foo[$v] = &$v;
?>
compact
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
compact — 변수와 그 값을 가지는 배열 생성
설명
변수와 그 값을 가지는 배열을 생성합니다.
이들 각각에 대해, compact() 는 현재 심볼 테이블에서 그 이름을 갖는 변수를 찾고, 그 변수명이 키가 되고 변수의 내용은 그 키에 대한 값이 될수 있도록 출력 배열에 추가한다. 짧게 말해서, 이 함수는 extract()과 반대이다.
선언되지 않은 모든 문자열은 단순히 무시합니다.
인수
- varname
-
compact()는 가변 인수를 가집니다. 각 인수는 변수명을 가지는 문자열이거나, 변수명의 배열일 수 있습니다. 배열은 그 안에 변수명을 가지는 다른 배열을 포함할 수 있습니다; compact()는 재귀적으로 다룹니다.
반환값
모든 변수를 추가한 결과 배열을 반환합니다.
예제
Example #1 compact() 예제
<?php
$city = "San Francisco";
$state = "CA";
$event = "SIGGRAPH";
$location_vars = array("city", "state");
$result = compact("event", "nothing_here", $location_vars);
?>
위 예제의 출력:
Array
(
[event] => SIGGRAPH
[city] => San Francisco
[state] => CA
)
compact

You can check whether a variable is defined by using array_key_exists()!
First, you may ask that no reserved array (would be called $LOCALS) is predefined in function scope (contrast to reserved array $GLOBALS in global scope. To solve it, you can use compact().
Then, you may ask that why property_exists() cannot be used. This is because no reserved function is predefined to create OBJECT containing variables and their values, and no reserved function is predefined to import variables into the current symbol table from an OBJECT. In addition, property_exists() breaks the naming convention of reserved function.
Finally, I show how to check whether a variable is defined by using array_key_exists():
<?php
function too(){
$roo = array_key_exists('foo', compact('foo'));
echo ($roo?'1':'0').'<br/>';
$foo = null;
$roo = array_key_exists('foo', compact('foo'));
echo ($roo?'1':'0').'<br/>';
}
too();
?>
The output will be:
0<br/>
1<br/>

Can also handy for debugging, to quickly show a bunch of variables and their values:
<?php
print_r(compact(explode(' ', 'count acw cols coldepth')));
?>
gives
Array
(
[count] => 70
[acw] => 9
[cols] => 7
[coldepth] => 10
)

You might could think of it as ${$var}. So, if you variable is not accessible with the ${$var} it will not working with this function. Examples being inside of function or class where you variable is not present.
<?php
$foo = 'bar';
function blah()
{
// this will no work since the $foo is not in scope
$somthin = compact('foo'); // you get empty array
}
?>

The compact function doesn't work inside the classes or functions.
I think its escope is local...
Above it is a code to help about it.
Comments & Suggestions are welcome.
PS: Sorry for my poor english...
<?php
function x_compact()
{ if(func_num_args()==0)
{ return false; }
$m=array();
function attach($val)
{ global $m;
if((!is_numeric($val)) && array_key_exists($val,$GLOBALS))
{ $m[$val]=$GLOBALS[$val];}
}
function sub($par)
{ global $m;
if(is_array($par))
{ foreach($par as $cel)
{ if(is_array($cel))
{ sub($cel); }
else
{ attach($cel); }
}
}
else
{ attach($par); }
return $m;
}
for($i=0;$i<func_num_args();$i++)
{ $arg=func_get_arg($i);
sub($arg);
}
return sub($arg);
}
?>

Use the following piece of code if you want to insert a value into an array at a path that is extracted from a string.
Example:
You have a syntax like 'a|b|c|d' which represents the array structure, and you want to insert a value X into the array at the position $array['a']['b']['c']['d'] = X.
<?
function array_path_insert(&$array, $path, $value)
{
$path_el = split('\|', $path);
$arr_ref =& $array;
for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($path_el); $i++)
{
$arr_ref =& $arr_ref[$path_el[$i]];
}
$arr_ref = $value;
}
$array['a']['b']['f'] = 4;
$path = 'a|b|d|e';
$value = 'hallo';
array_path_insert($array, $path, $value);
/* var_dump($array) returns:
array(1) {
["a"]=>
&array(1) {
["b"]=>
&array(2) {
["f"]=>
int(4)
["d"]=>
&array(1) {
["e"]=>
string(5) "hallo"
}
}
}
*/
?>
