If I pass a reference to an object and assign that to a class property.
Shouldn't the property be a reference back to the original variable's value
instead of a copy?
Here is some sample code to illustrate my small confusion.
<?php
class Testie
{
var $error;
function Testie()
{
}
}
class Tester
{
var $testie;
function Tester(&$testie) // <-- passing object by reference
{
$this->testie = $testie; // <--- I must put an & again if I want this
to be a reference even though
// I already passed a reference
}
}
$t = new Testie();
$a = new Tester(&$t);
$a->testie->error = "Hello 123";
$t->error = "GoodBye 123";
print "A::error ".$a->testie->error."\n";
print "T::error $t->error\n";
?>
// with the &
A::error GoodBye 123
T::error GoodBye 123
// Without the &
A::error Hello 123
T::error GoodBye 123
I suppose this is intended behavior and my laziness is getting the better of
me?
