The reason is that @$var is parsed like expression, not a variable, so the fetch goes as read fetch, not write fetch. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php function &method1() { return @$foo; } echo method1(); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24205&edit=1
