Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-18 16:28:43] msopacua at idg dot nl If you register a child on an object, which extends the parent, any shared resources are duplicated - ie, the child creates an instance of the parent. For example, registering a database connection in the parent, and consequently printing that connection from the child, will give you "resource id #2", when the parent is "resource id #1". Is there any way (in ZE2?) to use a reference to the parent or can't this be helped, period? Seems to me, that all these instances can, while in fact, they share the exact same values, are just taking up memory. If you need example code, let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15606&edit=1
