From: marcelo at beteltecnologia dot com dot br Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 4.3.8 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: object is no being passed by reference to reference defined method
Description: ------------ I have a method that receives a object by reference. Despite the method definition defines that the parameter should be taken by reference it is being treated as it were a copy. Reproduce code: --------------- class Myclass extends MyOtherClass { function mymethod(&$myobj) { $myobj->mymodifier('Parameter'); } } Expected result: ---------------- the 'mymodifier' method of the original 'myobj' object should be called. Actual result: -------------- PHP is calling the method 'mymofifier' for a copy of the instance of 'myobj'. I used Call-time pass-by reference, to avoid the problem but, since this technique is deprecated I am reporting the bug. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29400&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29400&r=float
