#24854 [NEW]: Varible Pass By Referance Fail

[szernik at shawnzernik dot net]

From:             szernik at shawnzernik dot net
Operating system: Windows XP
PHP version:      5.0.0b1 (beta1)
PHP Bug Type:     Zend Engine 2 problem
Bug description:  Varible Pass By Referance Fail

Description:
------------
If I pass the VarRefTest(&$Test) I get the same results.  The result
exspected are 10, 5, 5; 10, 5, 10; 10, 5, 10; 10, 5, 5.  Just wanted to
send you this since the docs online did not outline a new var ref model.


Reproduce code:
---------------
class tester {
        private $Number;

        function setNumber($New) {
                $this->Number = $New;
        }

        function getNumber() { return $this->Number; }
}

function RefTest ($Obj) {
                $Obj->setNumber(5);
                print "RefTest Number: " . $Obj->getNumber() . "<br>\n";
}

function VarTest ($Var) {
                $Var = 5;
                print "VarTest Number: " . $Var . "<br>\n";
}

function VarRefTest (&$Var) {
                $Var = 5;
                print "VarRefTest Number: " . $Var . "<br>\n";
}

// Obj Ref Test
$Test = new tester;
$Test->setNumber(10);
print "<p>Obj Number: " . $Test->getNumber() . "<br>\n";
RefTest($Test);
print "Obj Number: " . $Test->getNumber() . "<br>\n";

// Obj Var Test
$Test = new tester;
$Test->setNumber(10);
print "<p>Obj Number: " . $Test->getNumber() . "<br>\n";
RefTest($Test->__clone());
print "Obj Number: " . $Test->getNumber() . "<br>\n";

// Var Val Test
$TestA = 10;
print "<p>Number: " . $TestA . "<br>\n";
RefTest($Test);
print "Number: " . $TestA . "<br>\n";

// Var Ref Test
$TestA = 10;
print "<p>Number: " . $TestA . "<br>\n";
VarRefTest($Test);
print "Number: " . $TestA . "<br>\n";

Expected result:
----------------
The result exspected are 10, 5, 5; 10, 5, 10; 10, 5, 10; 10, 5, 5.

Actual result:
--------------
Obj Number: 10
RefTest Number: 5
Obj Number: 5


Obj Number: 10
RefTest Number: 5
Obj Number: 10


Number: 10
RefTest Number: 5
Number: 10


Number: 10
VarRefTest Number: 5
Number: 10
