The reference operator $b = &$a; forces $b and $a to be references to the same variable now and forever, but the assignment operator $b = $a; may make $b and $a reference the same variable, but will make deep copies of them when their values diverge. At least that is my understanding. >And >there is more: I noticed that if I use the "sort" function instead of >"array_multisort", it works as expected. >I still think there is a bug involved :( Well... I hesitate to call it a bug because each function is working as intended by its author.
