HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Okay, now this really takes it... To improve memory usage (I'm guessing), they imp'd a ref counting scheme on objects. It's a good move...but the direct "=" operator is a SET operator...or should be. It's NOT! It's a reference operator, at least when dealing with classes! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Class1 = new class_Class1; Class2 = new class_Class1; Class2 = Class1; // REFERENCED! This is PAINFULLY obvious after reg'ing a class with a session, changing pages, and putting the following code in place... $local_Mine = new class_Mine; if (!session_is_registered("session_Mine")) { $session_Mine = new class_Mine; session_register("session_Mine"); } else { $local_Mine = $session_Mine; } This should ALWAYS be able to call $local_Mine->ANYTHING()! It's just been new'd for this page... Now, if you change pages, PHP saves $session_Mine via the server-side cookie. Cool. You have a copy of it in $local_Mine, which is fine...you can at least call methods off of $local_Mine. But if you look at the "else" clause, $local_Mine = $session_Mine and then call a method off of $local_Mine....well...guess what! It's undefined! It's a reference to $session_Mine which has all of the variable data but none of the methods! Note the lack of "&" operators anywhere in that snippet. I know I'm not the only one dealing with this CRAP (sessions+classes) PHP team, can we rely on you for a design/implementation fix? PLEASE? We're DYIN' out here, and our projects are beginning to lag enough that people upstairs are starting to ask questions. I dunno how much longer I can say "It's a PHP thing" while I keep trying to hack different stuff together just to make it WORK. I'm even getting the old "...and we're using PHP instead of ASP because...?" Am I doing something wrong? HELP! -Szii/Mike
