note 57732 added to language.references

For php programmers that come from pascal, in object pascal (delphi), variable references are used with the "absolute" keyword. PHP example: <?php global $myglobal; $myglobal = 5; function test() { global $myglobal; /*local*/ $mylocal =& $myglobal; echo "local: " . $mylocal . "\n"; echo "gloal: " . $myglobal . "\n"; } test(); ?> Pascal example: program dontcare; var myglobal: integer; procedure test; var mylocal ABSOLUTE myglobal; begin write("local: ", mylocal); write("global: ", myglobal); end; begin myglobal := 5; test; end. By the way, a "local" keyword in php for local variables, could be welcome :-) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57732 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57732&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57732&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57732&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57732&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57732&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57732&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57732&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57732&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
