Bug #15977 Updated: Function with passing by reference crash if passing by value

ID: 15977 Updated by: wawan@sega.gatra.com Reported By: wawan@sega.gatra.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: I'm not asking for support, but PHP scripting engine should display something informational, not just blank, really blank (0 byte in return), just like a blackhole compiler.

PHP supports this (?), but if we forget passing with value, (i think) compiler is crash, nothing shown in the screen, even error_reporting set E_ALL. Let's see modified sample from manual: function foo (&$var) { $var++; } foo(5); Any clue ? TIA. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15977&edit=1
