I know that it's a bad PHP programming than thinking PHP is C, the fact is that this behavior gives PHP errors in 5.2/5.1/5.0 branches, but segfaults 5.3.0 release. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $a = "string"; $b = &$a[1]; $b = "f"; echo $a; Expected result: ---------------- sfring But PHP5.2.0 and 5.0.0 tell : "Fatal error: Cannot create references to/from string offsets nor overloaded objects in XXX" PHP 5.1.0 tells: "Fatal error: fatal flex scanner internal error--end of buffer missed in XXX" PHP5.3 segfaults Actual result: -------------- segmentation faults ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49866&edit=1
