benoit: is very likely you are on your own now, PHP5 is out since years and certainly solve your problem, PHP4 active development has ceased permanently, it is only open to security fixes or severe regresions that affects large part of the user base. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-25 14:49:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I really doubt there will be any active development in 4.x branch, for we're mostly working on 5.x and 6.x at the moment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-25 14:42:31] benoit dot heinrich at swisscom dot com I tried to find a workaround, and when I tried to use the 'global' keyword instead of the 'static' then it gives exactly the same problem. I'm still searching for a workaround but for now I have nothing. Cheers, /Benoit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-25 14:11:12] benoit dot heinrich at swisscom dot com I'm sorry but I'm using php 4.4 and I can't use PHP 5 for a lot of reasons. Do you have any fix for php 4.4 ? Cheers, /Benoit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-25 14:01:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-25 13:54:06] benoit dot heinrich at swisscom dot com Description: ------------ Hello all, I've a script that keep an object into a cache to speed up performances. To access the cached instance, I'm using a static method of the class MyFactory::getInstance(); In that method I need to have a reference on the instance itself because the attached params also need to have a reference on their owner. Case 1 --------------------------------- If I do $instance =& new MyFactory(); in the getInstance() method then I have this: $a->code: 2 $a->params[toto]->parent->code: 2 $b->code: 1657232709 $b->params[toto]->parent->code: 1657232709 So the thing here is that the static keyword does not seems to keep a refcount on the instance when it's created the first time. So each time you call the getInstance() it creates a new instance instead of keeping the first created one. Case 2 --------------------------------- If I do $instance = new MyFactory(); in the getInstance() method then I have this: $a->code: 2 $a->params[toto]->parent->code: 576672258 $b->code: 2 $b->params[toto]->parent->code: 576672258 Here we have the result we can expect accordingly to the PHP4 documentation, but this not what I need. Please, can you investigate on that one ? Cheers, /Benoit Reproduce code: --------------- <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); /** * This is an example of a param implementation class. * The constructor always need a reference on its parent * (here it's not really needed, but in the real code it is) */ class toto { var $parent; function toto(&$parent) { $this->parent =& $parent; } } /** * This the factory class used to create instances of params. * The factory instance must be unique. */ class MyFactory { var $code; var $params = array(); function MyFactory() { $this->code = rand(); $this->initParam('toto'); } /** * Initialize a parameter */ function initParam($param) { $this->params[$param] =& new $param($this); } /** * Get the unique instance of the factory */ function & getInstance() { static $instance; // Due to the bug $instance is always null if (is_null($instance)) $instance =& new MyFactory(); return $instance; } } $a =& MyFactory::getInstance(); $a->code = 2; print '$a->code: ' . $a->code . "\n"; print '$a->params[toto]->parent->code: ' . $a->params['toto']->parent->code . "\n"; $b =& MyFactory::getInstance(); print '$b->code: ' . $b->code . "\n"; print '$b->params[toto]->parent->code: ' . $b->params['toto']->parent->code . "\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- $a->code: 2 $a->params[toto]->parent->code: 2 $b->code: 2 $b->params[toto]->parent->code: 2 Actual result: -------------- $a->code: 2 $a->params[toto]->parent->code: 2 $b->code: 1657232709 $b->params[toto]->parent->code: 1657232709 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39254&edit=1
