Part of the confusion comes with the terminology. A "reference" is a value (zval internally) with is_ref field set to 1. This means that all the variables that have this value will change all together if the value is changed. If is_ref is 1, but refcount > 1 (meaning, more than one variable uses this value), then it is not a reference. -Andrei http://www.gravitonic.com/ That just adds to the confusion - they're references but they're not?
