Why I'm receiving a variables should be passed by reference when i use t($a=1)? the t() function received 1, or the variable $a with value = 1? Test script: --------------- <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); function t(&$a){} t($a=1); /// should not receive error!! t() received ($a=1)? or t received (1) without variable $a reference? ?> [beto@conquista2 ~]# php t.php PHP Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in /home/beto/t.php on line 5 Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in /home/beto/t.php on line 5 Expected result: ---------------- no errors Actual result: -------------- PHP Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in /home/beto/t.php on line 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69880&edit=1
