Operating system: Redhat 8
PHP version: 4.3.0
PHP Bug Type: Variables related
Bug description: assign by reference function call changes variable contents
under 4.3.0 with apache 2.0.40 I see this strange behavior with aliasing:
$foo = "Philip Johnson's \"Glass House\" remains one of the most famous
residences in the world.";
$foo =& bar($foo);
print $foo;
function bar($text){
return $text;
}
outputs: Philip Johnson's "Glass House" remains one of the most famous
residences in the worlh
This didn't happen under 4.2.3. Although really this was a mistake on my
part (I meant to do $foo = bar($foo)) it seems like strange behavior
nonetheless.
It's also strange to me that if I change
return $text;
to
return "$text";
it works as I would expect.
