Perhaps this is in the "Returning References" section? By the way, I meant "not to make this mistake in the future." Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-18 22:57:02] simon dot jackson at caringbush dot net I am trying to find in the manual how this syntax in incorrect. I have read the assignment section, and can't yet see how this is incorrect. This will help me (an perhaps the horde people) no make this mistake in the future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-18 11:12:29] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is indeed a bug in Horde. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-18 11:02:05] judas dot iscariote at gmail dot com It's a Horde error, not a PHP bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-18 10:54:30] simon dot jackson at caringbush dot net Description: ------------ With Horde 3.0.9 (in many places) on PHP 5.0.4, the following works: if (class_exists($class)) { return $ret = &new $class($params); } It fails on PHP 5.1.0 and PHP 5.1.1 with an error of Notice: Only variable references should be returned by reference in ...on line ... However, the following does work: if (class_exists($class)) { $ret = &new $class($params); return $ret; } Is this an error in PHP or Horde? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35725&edit=1
