Hi,

Use & to reference one variable to another!

$b =& $a;

I can't understand why this works like it does.

class MyObj {
  var $Name;
  function MyObj($Name) {
    $this->Name = $Name;
  }
}
$a = new MyObj('MyObjName');
$b = $a;
$b->Name = 'NoName';
echo $a->Name;

Last line will output 'MyObjName' instead of 'NoName' (like I was expecting)
I'd expect $a and $b to behave like reference pointers (change in $b is
reflected in $a and vice versa) instead of copiing $a to $b (beiing a Delphi
programmer this is as natural to me as the Sun raising in east and setting
in west :-)

So, is there a way to do this; pointers or something maybe?
