Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments to the existing bug instead. Thank you for your interest in PHP. bug #14645 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-06 18:07:20] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Achja, and it's a documentation problem . . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-06 18:04:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is due that variables imported into functions with the global statement are in fact references. There are open reports about this issue, marking it as duplicate for now (#14645). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-06 17:46:46] jx at email dot cz this is ok <? $a=&$b; $a=5; echo($b); ?> but when I declare these variables as globals in a function it doesn't work <? function foo() { global $a, $b; $a=&$b; } foo(); $a=5; echo($b); ?> It is probably allright. I didn't find anything about this problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17052&edit=1 -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
