New Comment:
Dmitry: The catch is that you need to call some method in the object.
Then it suddenly is passed by reference, otherwise it behaves as you'd
expect. (Note: it's PHP4, not 5. :)

1) Bug still exists in PHP 4.4.0RC1.
2) Simplified example does not produce actual results consistent with
sniper at php.net's results in PHP 4.3.10 or 4.4.0RC1.
See output:
php -v

Original Reproduce Code Output
==============================
member->val should be empty!
something Object
(
[member] => something Object
(
[val] => 1
)
)
Simplified Example
==================
<?php
class something{
var $val = 0;
}
function pass_by_value($value){
$value->val=1;
}
$object = new something;
var_dump($object);
pass_by_value($object);
var_dump($object);
?>
Actual Results of Simplified Example
====================================
object(something)(1) {
["val"]=>
int(0)
}
object(something)(1) {
["val"]=>
int(0)
}

PHP5 always pass and assign objects by reference.
You should set "zend.ze1_compatibility_mode=1" if you like PHP4
behavior.

ATTENTION: This does NOT happen with PHP_4_4 !!
Simplified example:
<?php
class something {
public $val = 0;
}
function pass_by_value($value) {
$value->val = 1;
}
$object = new something;
var_dump($object);
pass_by_value($object);
var_dump($object);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
int(0)
int(0)
Actual result:
--------------
int(0)
int(1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description:
------------
See reproduce code.
php.ini is stock / no changes.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// a class that does nothing
class something{
function nothing(){
}
}
// a pass-by-value function that modifies a member's member
function pass_by_value($value){
$value->member->val = 1;
}
// create a something with a member something
$object = new something;
$object->member = new something;
// call nothing, then call pass_by_value and print results
$object->member->nothing();
echo "member->val should be empty!\n";
pass_by_value($object);
print_r($object);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
$object->member should be empty
Actual result:
--------------
$object->member->val == 1
