Hi Andi, there are 2 major problems regarding your patch... 1)

bar(foo()); // This will work now. bar(new foobar()); // Should work. bar(5); // Won't work bar($a = 5) // Won't work.

the third+fourth both DO work!

We need to check this out.

Please check if your code which broke due to our previous patch with a

"Only variables can be passed by reference" is OK now (unless your code was really broken :)

2) broken again (not mine), the patch... it only happens inside classes AFAIK <?php function foo() {

        $i=1;
        return $i; }

$foo = new foobar(); class foobar {

        function foobar()       {
                $this->bar($this); // works
                $this->bar(foo()); // not
        }

        function bar(&$blah) {
    print "Hey, what's wrong?"; }
                }

?>

foo() should return a reference. Defint it as: function &foo() { } Andi --- Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
