I'm running into a BC break between 5.1 and 5.0 & 4.x. It seems like some code in 5.1 to prevent re-assigning $this also prevents taking a reference of $this. The following bug report for this situation was marked Bogus:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34358
However, I would like to ask for an explanation of why
$this->ref =& $this
is a valid usage while
$ref =& $this;
is not.
Thanks,
Jeff Moore
