Yes, you can declare your function as accepting args by reference (function foo(&$var) { ) and thus get the value by reference. But - don't use this in the constructor, since $this in the constructor and the later object can be different (this is going probably to be fixed, but not that's how it is). I.e., it's better to do after constructor has been finished. Also, remember that references are not the same as C pointers and have a lot of "interesting" properties - read "References explained" in the manual. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.106
