note 69112 added to language.references.pass

Side note to post by: fdelizy at unfreeze dot net function &CopyObject(&$object, &$target = null) { $obj =& $this->_getObjIs($object); if ( is_object($obj) ) { if ( ! $parent =& $this->_getObjIs($target) ) { $parent =& $obj->that; } if ( $parent && $objs =& $parent->objs ) { $copied = $obj; $objs[ $parent->index++ ] =& $copied; return $copied; } } } (directly copied from my code) Does not work. I then also tried: function &CopyObject(&$object, &$target = $default=null) { And again, same problem. PHP Error: "Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /home/fragitup/public_html/template.php on line 457" Hence, it does not even compile. Clearly, it doesn't like that = identifier there when it is passing by reference. I cannot find a way to pass a default value except for: function &CopyObject(&$object, &$target) { ... } And: $obj->CopyObject($object, $null=null); How irritating... I'm a Perl programmer myself, and PHP is just pissing me off with all of it's limitations lol. ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 70.36.165.124 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.pass.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69112 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69112/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69112/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69112/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69112/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69112/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69112/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69112 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69112 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
