note 61748 added to language.oop5.overloading

Please note that PHP5 currently doesn't support __call return-by-reference (see PHP Bug #30959). Example Code: <?php class test { public function &__call($method, $params) { // Return a reference to var2 return $GLOBALS['var2']; } public function &actual() { // Return a reference to var1 return $GLOBALS['var1']; } } $obj = new test; $GLOBALS['var1'] = 0; $GLOBALS['var2'] = 0; $ref1 =& $obj->actual(); $GLOBALS['var1']++; echo "Actual function returns: $ref1 which should be equal to " . $GLOBALS['var1'] . "<br/>\n"; $ref2 =& $obj->overloaded(); $GLOBALS['var2']++; echo "Overloaded function returns: $ref2 which should be equal to " . $GLOBALS['var2'] . "<br/>\n"; ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 208.242.45.243 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61748 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61748&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61748&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61748&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61748&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61748&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61748&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61748&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61748&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
