I have removed the "&" in the loop I really can't see why you'd want to use references in the posted loop anyway -- it's not likely to gain you any performance, and, as I understand it, may actually run more slowly than the non-reference version. > I know that iterating a DOMNode's children using firstChild and > nextSibling by > reference causes trouble, thank you.

I don't think it's possible to answer this for sure without seeing more of the code -- at least the complete body of the loop, plus as far as any further use of the variable $child (and any other variables assigned from it).
