PHP 4.0 Bug #7808 Updated: variable value triggerd by function

ID: 7808 User Update by: wico@cnh.nl Old-Status: Closed Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Description: variable value triggerd by function I know &= is for somthing else it was just to illustrate what i ment &= could also be something else and $time="time"; echo $time(); sleep(1); echo $time(); is not where i'm looking for Please read carefully and try to understand what i mean Greetz, Wico Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-14 09:11:15] hholzgra@php.net '&=' has a very different meaning '$i &= $j' is an abbreviation of '$i = $i & $j' and '&' being the binary 'bitwise and' operator, not the unary 'get reference for' what you are looking for is $time="time"; echo $time(); sleep(1); echo $time(); and this already works ... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-14 08:54:13] wico@cnh.nl Hiya I don't know how to call it but i thing i could be usefull example: $time &= time(); // var to function echo $time; // current time sleep(1); echo $time; // still current time example 2: $data &= get_some_database_records(); while ($data) { echo $data; } Get_some_database_records will give every time its called the next var (until false) This are just a examples i know some other thing you can do with it but there yes for your imagenation :) Greetz, Wico --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7808
