Actually, I'm not wrong, I merely picked bad example (see below). But this shows that what I am trying to demonstrate: you don't seem to be interested in deep implications, particularly when you are changing some of the most used and well tested features. What do you make of this? -- t.php -- $smarty->force_compile=true; $a=array("b"=>"b"); $b=array("b"=> &$a["b"]); $smarty->assign('b', $b); // note, no & $smarty->display('t.tpl'); -- t.tpl -- B: {$b|@debug_print_var}<br/> {php} global $a; $a["b"] = "c"; {/php} B: {$b|@debug_print_var}<br/> -- OUTPUT -- B: Array (1) b => b B: Array (1) b => c > And, of course, this patch solves the problem in the first letter > of this thread - re-assigning variable which was previously > assigned by reference does not modify source: It doesn't solve the problem: the original poster was mis-using the feature. I tire of this now. xo boots __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger. http://messenger.yahoo.com/
