I thought I understood this but evidently not... Consider the following: $firstVar = "123ABC";
$secondVar &= $firstVar; $thirdVar = &$firstVar; echo $secondVar; echo '<br>'; echo $thirdVar; When I echo $secondVar, I get '0' but when I echo $thirdVar, I get the value of $firstVar. Why? I thought that "&=" made it so that the left operand was pointing to the memory location of the right?
