No wonder your code looks crooked. ;-P

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.

That works for me, but I seldom use their code.
I always like to see (have an example) of how it's done, but then I
rewrite everything to fit with my view of the world.
I seldom like other people's coding style. Most programmers seem to like
their code tight and I like mine fluffy.

Hello,
I know that PHP doesn't support pointers to a variable, instead of that
there is references to a variable which are similar to pointers, right?
BTW, what I want to do is to save a references to a variable and read the
content when I need, similar to PDO "bindParam". I will try to explain
better in the following pseudo php code.
function foo($a) {
$GLOBALS['references']['a'] = /*references to $a */
}
function bar() {
echo $GLOBALS['references']['a'];
}
$var="hello"
foo($var);
$var = "hi";
bar(); /* it should print "hi" instead of "hello" */

Your code is broken:
<?php
function foo( &$a )
{
$GLOBALS['references']['a'] = &$a; /*references to $a */
}
function bar()
{
echo $GLOBALS['references']['a'];
}
$var="hello"
foo($var);
$var = "hi";
bar(); /* it should print "hi" instead of "hello" */
?>
Cheers,
Rob.

a timestamp + a year ahead as an example, a week, a day, a week + two days,
it's all very simple to add up with php.

chaa... What event except birthdays weddings and maby elections are we
talking about here? I cannot tell what I'm supposed to do next week and it
seems kind'a hard to grasp at what youre thinkin of

Emil,
There is not much "simple" about a calendar, especially when you start
dealing with recurring events. How far into the future your calendar
allow events to recur will depend at least in part on how you intend
to store them. For instance, you can store them in a database where
you create a separate event row for each occurrence (though still be
linked by a common ID as you said), but you'll probably set your
limits based on storage to prevent adding a daily event for the next
10 years. You could also store a single event record that includes the
rules for recurrence and then calculate the dates of each instance as
needed, but that could get pretty CPU intensive. (I'm assuming you
want to stick with "simple" periodic recursion, not more complex
things like the date for Easter or events that don't have any set
pattern.) Your decision will also be affected by whether you want to
be able to modify a specific instance of a recurring event -- say to
move your monthly meeting from 1:00 to 2:30 for next month only or to
cancel your weekly card game 3 weeks from now without altering other
instances of the same events -- will impact how you approach your
design.
And none of this takes into account the fun you get if you have to
deal with multiple time zones and/or daylight saving time. For
instance, if you store events in local time, you have to store the
time zone with the record so you can convert from one time zone to
another. If you store events in UTC, you usually have to account for
shifts in daylight saving time so that your weekly 2:00 staff meetings
don't suddenly change to 1:00. Then there are the occasional changes
to the beginning/ending dates for DST like happened this year for the
US.
I know this probably muddies your original question even further, but
I'll say again -- there is not much "simple" when it comes to
calendars.

Here's some unexpected behavior:
<?php
// ?> what?
?>
This will output "what?" - I expected no output, as is the case if the
inline comment was a /* */ comment. Is this a bug?

That is because the PHP parser stops the comment on the end of a php tag
("?>") or new line, that is not a bug.

No, that is expected behavior. Try this:
<? // blah, blah, blah ?> This will display
.... versus this:
<? /* blah, blah, blah ?> This will be hidden */ ?>
Comments with //double-slashes and #hashmarks terminate when the
code container terminates, because the ending ?> indicates that it's
time for the parser to stop interpreting code. However,
/*slash-starred comments do not terminate, as the parser expects a
closing comment tag*/.
For all intents and purposes, you could consider the /* as a
sleeping pill, and the */ as the alarm clock. ANYTHING that happens
between those will have no attention paid to it by PHP.
