Bug #15576: Got "Warning: Problem with method call. Report this bug in xxx.php" error

From: wine@bachi.ch Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Got "Warning: Problem with method call. Report this bug in xxx.php" error Got this rather strange error msg. that asks for a bug report. Ok here we go, it happens here - when I try to 1. generate an object from class objectFactory, 2. inside a class method, 3. and returning a reference to it (without the reference it worked) $factory = &objectFactory::install(); class objectFactory { ... function &install() { global $globar; if (!$globar[objectFactory]) { $globar[objectFactory] = new objectFactory(); } return $globar[objectFactory]; } } Hope that helped..
