Operating system: Windows XP, apache 2.0
PHP version: 4.4.6
PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: Pass by reference and object assignment problem
Description:
------------
If a parameter passed by reference to a function is assigned a new object
with the =& operator, after the function call the variable passed to the
function will not contain the object, but its previous value (or null).
Assignment with = works fine.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<pre><?php
class A {}
function Foo(&$param)
{
$param =& new A();
}
function Bar(&$param)
{
$param = new A();
}
echo phpversion()."\n";
$p = 1;
Foo($p);
var_dump($p);
$q = 1;
Bar($q);
var_dump($q);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
4.4.6
object(a)(0) {
}
object(a)(0) {
}
Actual result:
--------------
4.4.6
int(1)
object(a)(0) {
}
