Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:Referenced variables override value of a reference-variable to
an object
Description:
------------
This happens when I try to re-use a variable that was used to hold a
reference to another variable for holding an object reference.
If I remove the second line or use unset, it works as expected. But
AFAIK it's not required to unset variables before assigning it a new
value.
Test script:
---------------
$num = 123;
$ref = &$num;
$obj = new stdClass();
$ref = $obj;
$num = 321;
var_dump($ref);
Expected result:
----------------
class stdClass#1 (0) {
}
Actual result:
--------------
int(321)
