#35932 [Opn->Bgs]: PDO code samples

ID: 35932 Updated by: nlopess@php.net Reported By: j dot gizmo at aon dot at -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: this is not a documentation problem surely. PHP 5 deprecates the use of '=& new' syntax, as objects are always references. Please try with latest PHP 5 version available and if the problem persists, reopen this bug, but not as a documentation problem. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-01-08 16:52:48] j dot gizmo at aon dot at Description: ------------ In code samples for the PDO object, objects are created with the assignment operator (=) instead of the reference operator (=&). Reproduce code: --------------- //Syntax used in code samples $conn = new PDO( $dsn ); //How it actually works $conn =& new PDO( $dsn ); Expected result: ---------------- The output shown below the corresponding code samples. Actual result: -------------- On windows, the first version doesn't report any errors, however any subsequent calls to methods of $conn results in the following warning: "SQL State [000000] No Error. PDO Constructor was not called." If you use the =& operator (and make $conn a reference to the newly created object) everything works as expected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35932&edit=1
