note 81506 added to language.variables.scope

I was pondering a little something regarding caching classes within a function in order to prevent the need to initiate them multiple times and not clutter the caching function's class properties with more values. I came here because I remembered something about references being lost. So I made a test to see if I could pull what I wanted to off anyway. Here's and example of how to get around the references lost issue. I hope it is helpful to someone else! <?php class test1{} class test2{} class test3{} function cache( $class ) { static $loaders = array(); $loaders[ $class ] = new $class(); var_dump( $loaders ); } print '<pre>'; cache( 'test1' ); cache( 'test2' ); cache( 'test3' ); ?> ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 76.22.73.161 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81506 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81506/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81506/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81506/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81506/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81506/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81506/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81506 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81506 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
