Is there a way to check whether a given variable is a reference in php?

I.e.

        $foo="hi";
        $bar=&$foo;
        if (is_ref($bar)) echo "ref";

Corollary question:  What happens to references after a cycle of being
stored in and retrieved from the $_SESSION?  Do I get copies now, or do
I still have a reference?

Also, does PHP have the notion of class variables as in Java?  I.e. a
shared variable between all objects of a given class?  It appears that
we only have what would be called 'instance variables' in Java.  Is this
correct?

Thanks

Alok
