uhm, well, the thing with the $temp var is useless. i see now that i cannot reference something into
*a part* of something else.
but the silent loss of "<br>n" is still a problem, imo.

code i would like to use:
---cut---
function &someShit() {
return 'foo';
}
$out = '';
for ($i = 1; $i <= 3; $i++) {
$out .= &someShit() . "<br>n";
}
echo $out;
---cut---
problem:
parse error on line
$out .= &someShit() . "<br>n";
because .= and & don't work together.
so the workaround would be:
$temp = &someShit() . "<br>n";
$out .= $temp;
problem here:
it prints out 'foofoofoo' and not
'foo<br>nfoo<br>nfoo<br>n'
so the code finally looks like:
---cut---
function &someShit() {
return 'foo';
}
$out = '';
for ($i = 1; $i <= 3; $i++) {
$temp = &someShit();
$out .= $temp . "<br>n";
}
echo $out;
---cut---
is this the normal behavior?
