I know this is not a C++ newsgroup, but I just wanted to get things right, after the comment of "someone at somewhere dot com". The C-like piece of code provided by stlawson DOES use a pointer, and NOT a C++ reference. "someone at somewhere dot com" got confused because type declaration was obviously omitted for clarity reasons. A reference in C++ is almost a type qualifier: a variable is of type "reference to objects of class MyClass". Therefore, one cannot assign &myObj to a variable declared as a "reference to objects of class MyClass". &myObj really identifies a pointer to myObj, and dereference (using * or ->) is requiered. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+28438 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+28438 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+28438
