Re: foreach, assigning to a reference, and E_NOTICE

Being the colleague Sean refered to in his first post I thought I might weigh in. While I agree that once I looked at the base case that Sean worked out of my code the problem didn't take too long to recognize, that's not where I first experianced the problem. Problems first rear their head deep within your code, looking at it there I had no idea what was going on, all I could tell was that for some reason I was getting two copies of an object in a foreach loop (I hadn't yet noticed that I was missing one). Once Sean was able to break my code down into the simple base case and replicate the issue I understood what was happening, but just looking at my code as a whole? Not a chance. A warning on strict or or notice would have helped a lot, and that's really what I think a lot of those messages are, notices to the programmer that something odd /may/ happen. as a side note, running the zend code analyzer did not give me any warnings either. paul
