note 50041 added to language.types.object

If you use new to create items in an array, you may not get the results you want since the parameters to array will be copies of the original and not references. By Example: class Store { var $item = 3; } $a = array( new Store() ); $b = $a; $a[0]->item = 2; print( "|" . $b[0]->item . "| <br>" ); //shows 3 $a = array(); $a[] =& new Store(); $b = $a; $a[0]->item = 2; print( "|" . $b[0]->item . "| <br>" ); //shows 2 This is extremely important if you intend on passing arrays of classes to functions and expect them to always use the same object instance! Note: The following syntax is desired (or maybe even the default notation should translate as this): $a = array( &new Store() ); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.object.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50041 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50041&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50041&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50041&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50041&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50041&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50041&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
