$this = mysql_last_id();
I got the same error as previously stated. Worked fine in PHP 4. I use
the variable $this in the very next line of code for a database entry,
but it keeps kicking back fatal errors at this line.

This bug is fixed.
Disallowing $a = &$this; and foo(&$this) is a feature request (not a
bug). Also I don't see any sense no breake BC and valid code only
because this assignment is dangerous.

Guys your notes about possible misuse($ref =& $this;$ref = 'foo') are
totally valid but is soooooo much difficult to spot this situation
_when_it_actually_happens_?
I'm by no means going to use this ref improperly but simply want BC with
PHP4...

I'm reopening this so that we can discuss it. I don't think we should be
silently ignoring references as that's something vague. See mail to
internals@ in a bit.

So for the curious who are wondering what "fixed" means. The & is
simply ignored in this case now.

Fixed in CVS HEAD and PHP_5_1.
