note 110460 added to function.socket-recvfrom

NOTE: in regards to passing the reference or "pointer" into the function, you should *not* prefix the variable with the '&' symbol! The use of them in the function prototype above is to illustrate that these variables will be referenced in the function. This is done automatically by php, do *not* do this: func(&$a)! see "Passing by Reference" in the php manual at: http://us1.php.net/manual/en/language.references.pass.php "Note: There is no reference sign on a function call - only on function definitions. Function definitions alone are enough to correctly pass the argument by reference. As of PHP 5.3.0, you will get a warning saying that "call-time pass-by-reference" is deprecated when you use & in foo(&$a);. And as of PHP 5.4.0, call-time pass-by-reference was removed, so using it will raise a fatal error.") ---- Server IP: 192.41.42.26 Probable Submitter: 209.66.118.234 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.socket-recvfrom.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/110460 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110460/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110460/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110460/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110460/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110460/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110460/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/110460 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/110460 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
