PHP_FUNCTION(ref_assign) { zval *bar, *foo; if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "zz", &bar, &foo) == FAILURE) { return; } ZVAL_ADDREF(foo); *bar = *foo; bar->is_ref = TRUE; bar->refcount = 1; } this works, but i don't know if its the best way to do it. - Brad --- "Tim Daly, Jr." <tim@tenkan.org> wrote: > > I'm trying to do some extension programming, and I'm pretty confused > by the whole zval thing.
