ID: 21288 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows XP SP1 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment:
It seems more explanation should have been needed... This problem is due to misleading behavior of array copies. PHP scripting engine doesn't perform deep-copy on any elements of an array while it copies *the container* of them indeed. This will be fixed in ZendEngine2. Stay tuned.

See http://bugs.php.net/20993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-30 06:52:59] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, i have some problems with understanding the following: class Test { var $a; function Test() { $this->a = 0; } function test2() { } } $a[0] = new Test; $b = $a; $a[0]->a = 1; echo($b[0]->a); This outputs 0 as i would expect..but: $a[0] = new Test; $a[0]->test2(); $b = $a; $a[0]->a = 1; echo($b[0]->a); This outputs 1, and i dont understand this, PHP seems to do some sort of referencing here, though i dont want any.. $b[0] = $a[0]; works and creates a real copy, but i was still wondering if $b = $a shouldnt create a copy aswell instead of this referencing stuff... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21288&edit=1 -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
