A bug. php shouldn't die if a NULL is passed, it should give an error as if you typed: func('a', 'b', 'c'); An error should complain about passing constant to reference. But, it is fixed with 4.3.3RC1. so no need to submit a bug on it: <?php function foo($a, $b, &$c) { } foo('a', 'b', NULL); ?> Results: Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /usr/home/www/domains/dyndns.org/web/zirzow/_/php/tests/bugs/func_ref_null.php on line 2 Curt -- "I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure." -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
