Apologies in advance if this is the wrong mailing list. Please direct me to a more appropriate mailing list if there is one :-) When a PHP string variable is changed via a PHP script, such as: $foo = 'new value'; what happens to the `value.str.val' pointer internally? Is it possible to have the new value assigned to the same `value.str.val' pointer that the variable is currently using instead of having that pointer replaced by a pointer to the new value?No, it's not possible (not in a reliable way anyway).
