#49149 [Opn->Csd]: "References inside the constructor" docs are incorrect

ID: 49149 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: initcontact at grahamwideman dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Page moved to appendix and clearly stated that it is only for PHP 4. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-04 08:16:25] initcontact at grahamwideman dot com Description: ------------ On Page "References inside the constructor" This page badly needs to be edited to make clear whether any of it applies to PHP 5, for which it is probably mostly wrong. Expected result: ---------------- Page: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.newref.php Despite the fact that the text on this page mentions "PHP 4 and up", most of this page appears to be about how to work with references features as they were in PHP 4, and that were substantially improved in PHP 5, mostly obsoleting what this page says. That makes this page very misleading for PHP 5 users. Note: the page is indeed in the TOC under PHP 4 Classes and Objects -- however this fact isn't evident if one has found the page through search etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49149&edit=1
