Sorry about that, I didn't see that part of the manual. Still, this doesn't seem like good behavior... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-27 12:48:27] [EMAIL PROTECTED] RTFM: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php And the part with title: "References with global and static variables" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-26 19:40:08] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Description: ------------ When setting a static variable by reference (as one would want to do in PHP4 since the object model uses copies instead of references) the static variable becomes non-static and is lost when the function ends. I assume this could be fixed by making the reference itself static instead of the variable. This can also be "fixed" by using a container as the static variable (an array or object) and setting the var by ref within the array/object. $v[0] =& $var; or $v->v =& $var; I also tested this in PHP 5.0.4 and the same thing happens. I realize that PHP5 uses refs instead of copies by default. Reproduce code: --------------- function a() { static $v; $a = 0; if (!isset($v)) { $v =& $a; echo 'setting v<br/> '; } } a(); a(); function b() { static $w; $a = 0; if (!isset($w)) { $w = $a; echo 'setting w<br/> '; } } b(); b(); Expected result: ---------------- setting v setting w Actual result: -------------- setting v setting v setting w ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32845&edit=1
