Bug description: Assignment by reference using a function assignes the
variable by value
Description:
------------
This bug is a change of Assignment by reference behavior bewteen Php
versions <= 5.0.4 and the last 5.0.5.
In Php 5.0.5 when a variable is re-assigned by reference directly using a
function, then the variable is assigned by value.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$a = 'hello';
$b =& $a;
$a =& f_test();
echo "* a = {".$a."}, b = {".$b."}<br>";
function f_test() {
return 'tested';
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
* a = {tested}, b = {hello}
Actual result:
--------------
* a = {tested}, b = {tested}
