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)
