After a full day of looking into a bug on a script i have i found this problem. basically if you invoke a method from a member object it adds a ref instead of keeping it 'non ref'. Is this by design or is it a bug. <? class foo { var $bar; function foo() { $this->bar = new bar("inside foo"); $this->bar->set_tmp("why does this add a ref"); /* // this works fine $bar = new bar("inside foo"); $bar->set_tmp("no ref"); $this->bar = $bar; */ /* //this doesn't work $bar = new bar("inside foo"); $this->bar = $bar; $this->bar->set_tmp("why does this add a ref"); */ } } class bar { var $tmp; function bar($tmp) { $this->tmp = $tmp; } function set_tmp($tmp) { $this->tmp = $tmp; } } var_dump(new foo()); ?> - Brad __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
