Description:
------------
I am an Italian, excused for errors in the translation.
In the Documentation -> Cap.12 Variables -> Basic is written:
"One important thing to note is that only named variables may be
assigned by reference."
<?php
...
error_reporting(E_ALL);
function test()
{
return 25;
}
$bar = &test(); // Invalid.
?>
But to me, this code works. In fact, if I insert the row
"error_reporting(E_ALL);" they give to a Notice but not an error to me.
Output:
Notice: Only variables should be assigned by reference in
C:\www\index.php on line 9
25
