function value($action, $param){
// want to use the value here
}

If you want to pass a multi-dimensional array as a parameter, simply pass the child array with the name of the parent (container array).

So if an array like

Array ( 
         [pattern] => 
         [status] => Array (
                             [0] => 0 
                             [1] => 4 
                           )
)

if you want both the elements of status to be passed into the function,pass the name of the array parent. (in this case, param)

function foo($x)
{
  echo "<pre>"; // just to make reading easy ;)
  print_r($x);
 }

The function foo() displays the contents passed into the function which you can use to see what's being passed.

so things like foo($param['status']) gives this :

Array( [0] => 0 [1]=> 4 )

and something like foo($param['status'][1]) gives this : 4
