Re: mixing of asign() and assign_by_ref() overwrites external vars

$testvar = true; $smarty = new Smarty; $smarty->assign_by_ref('testvar', $testvar); // bug? var_dump($testvar); // prints: (bool) true $smarty->assign('testvar', false); var_dump($testvar); // prints: (bool) false

What do you think should happen? You are changing a by-reference value

i expect if i use appand() that the reference is unset by smarty, cause i dont think that any body wants to set an external var this way!

I suspect you don't really want to use append_by_ref then.

of course, i could, and this all is not really a problem for me, its just that this is not what i expected! if i assign a var by reference to smarty, than cause i want to make changes to this var after i append it to smarty, or to save resources but never to overwrite this extern var by a call to append() if others think this is not a bug ... not my problem! as i said i have no problem with this behavior p.s. sorry for my english -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de www.warzonez.de www.tekkno4u.de www.nofetish.com www.sf.net/projects/phpdatetime www.sf.net/projects/phptimesheet
