You can pass your arguments by reference.

<?php
function test( $arg1, $arg2 ){
        $arg1 = "foo";
        $arg2 = "bar";
}

$var1 = "";
$var2 = "";

test( &$var1, &$var2 );  // Note the "&" before the arguments.
?>

The result will be that $var1 == "foo" and $var2 == "bar".

You can mix it up too ... if you want the function to return a value (say,
true or false) AND modify arguments, modify only a subset of the
arguments, etc.
