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 $x = 'foo' is an expression and cannot be passed by reference. Enable E_STRICT to see the message. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-02-16 00:33:18] thom at genx dot net Description: ------------ Inline assignment of a variable used as an argument to a function (passed by reference) does not behave properly. Earlier versions of PHP (< 5.1.2) and other programming languages recognize the assignment before the function call is made. It seems that PHP 5.1.2 recognizes the assignment after the function call is made. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php function testAppend(&$string) { $string .= 'testAppend'; } testAppend($x = 'foo'); echo $x; ?> Expected result: ---------------- footestAppend Actual result: -------------- foo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36405&edit=1
