Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #6240: is_reference()

AL>> It would be a great move towards cleaning up the misunderstanding to AL>> implement (that╢s possible when you╢ve finished your work on var_dump()) AL>> that a variable is displayed once and all other referenced ones are AL>> displaying sth like AL>> *object(foo) <=> object(boo)* As I already explained in that discussion on serializing references, you *can not* find out what object is a reference to what (in matters of variable named, not pointers). I guess in var_dump it could be done if we keep names in the hash, but I am not sure at all that keepsing full name (imagine a[0]->foo[2]["bar"]->baz) of the variable worth it. I'd plan to just cut the display when the variable was already displayed. I'll think about it a bit more, but keeping the full name of every point in the variable tree just for the "spot the reference" game seems to much for me. -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665 ext.106
