$b points to the adress of $a, should not be different from other languages... $b and $a are completely equally stored then in memory then? not they aren´t, cos I can do... $obj->foo=1; $obj2->foo=&$obj->foo; var_dump($obj); result in: object(stdClass)(1) { ["foo"]=> int(1) } var_dump($obj2); results in: object(stdClass)(1) { ["foo"]=> &int(1) } how does var_dump() than that´s reference, following you words it should not know this. again, if var_dump() can retrieve this info, a function ref_dump() could find that variable in memory which is *not* a reference and then serialize:

And what if there are two or more matching variables? what will be the right one?

object(stdClass)(1) { ["foo"]=> int(1) } and object(stdClass)(1) { ["foo"]=> reference(obj->foo) } regards --
