current isn't able to return by reference, eg. function &getDataPacket() { global $globalref; return current( $globalref[ key( $globalref ) ]->dp ); // *FAILS* return $globalref[ key( $globalref ) ]->dp[ key( $globalref[ key( $globalref ) ]->dp ) ]; // *WORKS* } According to Bug#12692 it's intentional, so watch out! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.current.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35792 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35792&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35792&report=yes
