It seems rather useless to me. Why call a function just to instantiate a class like that? Regardless, here it is trying to create a reference to a temp var. Basically PHP will ignore the reference here, and it should work, but you are getting a notice because the reference is being discarded. Either drop the reference from the function definition or do: $class =& new $classname(); return $class; And for PHP5 you can just drop all references related to objects and it will do the right thing. -Rasmus
