Amazing how fast the assumption has become that passing object values in
PHP5 is identical to passing the object by reference. It is not the
same, there are subtle differences. Either way I'm not weighing in on
the $ref = &$this issue, only that $obj = $someObj is NOT the same as
$obj = &$someObj.
<?php
class FooA{}
class FooB{}
$a = new FooA();
$b = new FooB();
$blah1 = &$a;
$blah2 = &$blah1;
$blah1 = $b;
print_r( $blah2 );
unset( $a, $b, $blah1, $blah2 );
$a = new FooA();
$b = new FooB();
$blah1 = $a;
$blah2 = $blah1;
$blah1 = $b;
print_r( $blah2 );
?>
Cheers,
Rob.
