#28183 [Opn]: Variables mix up

ID: 28183 User updated by: patrick dot hagemeister at krankikom dot de Reported By: patrick dot hagemeister at krankikom dot de Status: Open -Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function +Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux SuSE 8.0 PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment: Changed category to "Scripting engine problem" Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-27 16:21:04] patrick dot hagemeister at krankikom dot de Description: ------------ I have a medium-sized php applications (~20000 lines), which starts to produce a few problems. Sometimes, variables mix up: i.e. i create a new instance $root of class "CBXTreeNode", but only 3 lines later, suddenly the class type (checked using get_class()) of $root is "CBXWorkflow", and the value is the one of another variable in the same function. But between these lines, i didn't even touch the variable... In some places, a similar problem shows up: I instanciate a class CBXTreeNode, but if i do get_class($variable), it returns "cbxtreenodd" instead of ctxtreenode. Unfortunately i could not reproduce it on every server, on my development server it works, on the production server, it doesn't :( Also, the exact same source works outside my application, on the same server. I updated PHP from 4.2.3 to 4.3.6, but no change. Reproduce code: --------------- $root = $treemgr->getRootNode(); echo "root is class ".get_class($root)."<br>"; $workflow =& $this->getWorkflow(); echo "workflow is class ".get_class($workflow)."<br>"; echo "root is class ".get_class($root)."<br>"; // **Output in my application** // root is class CBXTreeNode // workflow is class SPWorkflow // root is class SPWorkflow Expected result: ---------------- Output should be: root is class CBXTreeNode workflow is class SPWorkflow root is class CBXTreeNode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28183&edit=1
