RE: [PHP-DEV] $ref =& $this;

JC>>> I am quite getting tired of having to maintain BC for *every* little JC>>> stupid thing we ever did. I think it's time to start with a clean slate JC>>> as it's all getting way to annoying to maintain (and know what subtle JC>>> differences there are between PHP versions). The subtle differences are mostly because many of the developers don't care for the BC. This leads to a state when if you code runs on x.y.z version of PHP, you can't really be sure it would run on any other version - and it works both ways, up and down. I think it's very bad for the users and developers, and it leads to development time wasted and frustration growing. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.115
