This is a very good reduced example. I urgently suggest to post this on the PHP Bugtracker, no matter what you think of them - I agree that it is a BC-break which should at least be documented in the ChangeLog of PHP5.
much more confusing: <?php function myFuncR(&$var) { echo 'before inside function overwrite:'; var_dump($var); echo "\n"; $var = 9999; echo 'after inside function overwrite:'; var_dump($var); echo "\n"; } $var = 0; echo 'before function call:'; var_dump($var); echo "\n"; myFuncR($var = 20); echo 'after function call:'; var_dump($var); echo "\n"; ?> before function call:int(0) before inside function overwrite:int(20) after inside function overwrite:int(9999) after function call:int(20) -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de www.sf.net/projects/phpdatetime | www.sf.net/projects/phptimesheet
