Is this still open because it's possible that it might somehow be "fixed"? (though as comments note, it doesn't make any sense, and in any case, in php 5 the reference is unnecessary for the most common case of returning a new object)
if the idea is to leave it to see how many votes it gets, that is understandable. otherwise, it would be helpful to close it as 'not a bug' so people will know they need to change code. now it's like game of chicken, all wait to see who blinks :) thx -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
