It's in the manual. PHP4 $obj = new SomeObject() would create a SomeObject, and assign it by value to $obj. $obj would be a copy of the one created. by the new SomeObject. & makes it assign by reference. PHP5 In PHP5 Objects are assigned by reference anyway so the & doesn't matter. Now I understand. Many thanks!

But my current task pushes me to start use PHP. Generally, it's great but sometimes I'm a little bit confused. For example, recently I've found a strange notation of creation of PHP objects: $obj = & new SomeObject(); Can anyone explain me meaning of *&*?
