Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-06-02 10:12:11] clcollie@mindspring.com i'm working on a functions (sscanf/fscanf) to be registered with the scripting engine which requires that variables be passed by reference. this is easily done in user-land (&$variable), but there seems to be no obvious way to inform the compiler that the parameters accepted by c level functions should be pushed by ref. any guidance ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=4769&edit=1
