   Applies the user-defined function <parameter>funcname</parameter> to each
   element of the <parameter>array</parameter> array.
  </simpara>
  <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.

      <para>
       Typically, <parameter>funcname</parameter> takes on two parameters.
       The <parameter>array</parameter> parameter's value being the first, and
       the key/index second.
      </para>
      <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>
      </note>
      <para>
       Users may not change the <parameter>array</parameter> 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.

       If the optional <parameter>userdata</parameter> parameter is supplied,

       <parameter>funcname</parameter>.

   If function <parameter>funcname</parameter> requires more parameters than

   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
