note 77406 added to language.oop.newref

Continuing aib's note (31-May-2006 11:20) on the new behavior of PHP 5.x: Not only the "new" operator now returns a reference of the object (instead of a copy of the object as in PHP4), but more importantlly: now the assignment operator when acting on objects assigns by reference not by value. This means operator =& is equal to operator = , but only when acting on objects. If you want to copy (clone) an object use: $B = clone $A; Java creators got it right from the begining :) ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 88.1.201.196 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.newref.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77406 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77406/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77406/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77406/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77406/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77406/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77406/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77406 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77406 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
