#36051 [Asn->Bgs]: Suspicous reference-argument behavour at func($m=null)

ID: 36051 Updated by: dmitry@php.net Reported By: php at koterov dot ru -Status: Assigned +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.1.2 Assigned To: dmitry New Comment: See comments: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35995 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-17 15:43:29] derick@php.net Dmitry, this is another one similar - I really think we should address this issue to the PHP 5.1.1 situation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-17 15:42:04] php at koterov dot ru Description: ------------ Seems assignment-and-passing by reference becomes broken in PHP 5.1. PHP 4.x and 5.0 work as expected. See sample below. Seems PHP assigns value to $x AFTER calling function f(), but NOT before it. Or - only copy of $x passed to f(), not $x itself (as in 4.0 & 5.0). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php function f(&$m) { $m = 123; } f($x=0); var_dump($x); ?> Expected result: ---------------- int(123) Actual result: -------------- int(0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36051&edit=1
