Bug #16207: var referencing doesnt work on global vars?

From: vedad@kajtaz.net Operating system: linux 2.2.20 PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: var referencing doesnt work on global vars? Hello, Using references from and to global vars inside a function doesnt seem to work. Try this out: ---->8----->8----->8----->8- <? function SomeFunction() { global $a, $b, $c; $d = array(1, 2, 3); $a = $d; $b = &$a; $c = &$a; } SomeFunction(); ?><pre>a:<br><?print_r($a)?></pre><hr><? ?><pre>b:<br><?print_r($b)?></pre><hr><? ?><pre>c:<br><?print_r($c)?></pre><hr><? // end ?> ---->8----->8----->8----->8- Logically, $b and $c should be references to $a, but they seem to be empty vars!
