ID: 29423 User updated by: stefan at hotpaenz dot de Reported By: stefan at hotpaenz dot de Status: Open Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Operating System: Linux 2.6.3 PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-07-28 (dev) New Comment:
Of course you could make this code cause an fatal error (instead of the "expected result" that PHP4 returns), but please please please don't let it fail silently. It easily leads to errors that are really hard to track. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-07 11:50:47] stefan at hotpaenz dot de The bug remains for me with "latest cvs" snapshot 200503070930, configured with ./configure --disable-cli --enable-cgi --without-pear --disable-all ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-06 22:12:14] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-28 10:59:58] stefan at hotpaenz dot de Description: ------------ See the code below: An object of ClassA is passed to FuncB, which calls FuncA with the return-by-reference operator. FuncA is not designed to return by reference. The reference count seems to get wrong by doing that so the object is discarded when FuncB returns. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class ClassA { } function FuncA($obj) { return $obj; } function FuncB($obj) { $dummy = &FuncA($obj); } $obj = new ClassA(); FuncB($obj); $str='This is a string' var_dump($obj); Expected result: ---------------- object(ClassA)#1 (0) { } Actual result: -------------- string(16) "This is a string" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29423&edit=1
