Quoting Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com>: > Why does it make sense to send constants by reference? It doesn't, unless you mean that the boolean value true (I capitalized it in a mistaken attempt to add clarity; sorry) is a constant. If you have a method which returns true on success and an error object on failure, it would be nice to be able to pass that to PEAR::isError(). However, as things stand, we can only do that if PEAR::isError() doesn't take parameters by reference, which means that we get a performance hit every time it _is_ called with an object. -chuck -- Charles Hagenbuch, <chuck@horde.org> "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the chicken!" - Baby Blues
