Yes, this would be true--the code I posted is a snippet and not the entire
init()--I have code which checks if the string var is set to avoid the
problem you note.
Turns out that this issue is a PHP5 "feature" I overlooked where strings
(and all scalars?) are assigned by value by objects are assigned by
reference...problem solve, my bad.
