sigh. lets see..
function modify(&$str1)
{
print "\n".'In function:'.$str1;
$str1='MOD';
}
// the variable $a is locally **defined** with value "IN"
modify($a='IN'); //this prints 'In function: IN' (as expected)
print "\n".$a; // $a is **already defined** as 'IN', hence it SHOULD
print 'IN' **not** MOD

I insist.
The parser does not give the expected result in the output.
http://www.php.net/support.php has nothing common with bug reports,
this is just a help center

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Description:
------------
I've noticed that the construction doesn't work fine with php 5.1.6 and
5.2.0
php4 is okay with this
The function reciaves value 'IN', prints it, and changes it to 'MOD'...
but only in php4 =)
Spent hours catching this
Reproduce code:
---------------
function modify(&$str1)
{
print "\n".'In function:'.$str1;
$str1='MOD';
}
modify($a='IN');
print "\n".$a;
Expected result:
----------------
In function:IN
MOD
Actual result:
--------------
In function:IN
IN
