I acknowledge the problem, we'll try to address it tomorrow. The easiest way to reproduce it, by the way, doesn't involve classes at all: $foo[] = 1; $foo[] = 2; $bar = $foo; unset($foo[0]); print count($foo)."\n"; print count($bar)."\n"; Both count()'s will print 1, which is wrong. If you could submit a bug report (bugs.php.net/version4/) to ensure that this bug doesn't slip away, I'd be grateful. Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
