note 57365 added to language.references

if your object seems to "forget" assignments you make after instantiation, realize that in $foo = new Bar() the variable on the left hand is a *copy* of the variable on the right hand. As a result, & references made during instantiation may point to the righthandside version of Bar() and not to $foo. you'd better use $foo = & new Bar() ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57365 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57365&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57365&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57365&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57365&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57365&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57365&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57365&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57365&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
