Bug #11658 Updated: Getting values by reference don't work

ID: 11658 Updated by: jeroen Reported By: andrej.aschenbrenner@face.de Old-Status: Open Status: Duplicate Bug Type: COM related Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.6 Assigned To: Comments: Was submitted twice. Dup. of 11660 Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-25 09:00:11] andrej.aschenbrenner@face.de Example: $user = "test_user"; $allowed = 8; $instance = new COM("dll.CObject") or die("Unable to instanciate dll.CObject"); $instance->CheckLogin($user, COM_REMOTE_SERVER, &$allowed); echo $allowed; $allowed has always the value that you have specified above, here: 8; When I change $allowed to 6788, then I get 6788. It seems that the variable won't be changed when you pass it by reference. It doesn't matter if i use the & sign or not! Note that the variable $allowed have to be integer, I can't pass a variant type to the COM-Function CheckLogin. The same has been working with previous versions of PHP, until 4.0.5 and above. In need this functionality because i use a lot of stuff like that: $instance->some_function(&$var1, &$var2, &$var3); any clue, what's going up? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
