Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-17 09:26:41] [email protected] Default referenced variabeles are not yet supported. They probably will be in the second release of the Zend engine. Suspending for now. Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-17 09:17:50] anders at gatefive dot fi In a class I often use functions like this to get/set variables: class example { var $somevar; function Somevar($arg = NULL) { if (!is_null($arg)) $this->somevar = $arg; return $this->somevar; } } Everything is ok, but sometimes I would like to be able to do the same with references, like so: class example2 { var $someobject; function &Someobject(&$arg = NULL) { if (!is_null($arg)) $this->someobject = &$arg; return $this->someobject; } } The second example will throw an parse error, expecting ) after &$arg. I suppose this isn't an bug, but rather something not implemented or is intensional. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=12809&edit=1
