Summary: Assignment by reference within assignment operator

New Comment:
I am not under the impresion that there is an asign-by-reference
operator as such,
since one is free to separate "=" from "&", where "&" indicates return
by
reference. However the expression part makes this clear.

This is not a bug. The ternary operator defines an expression. Even if
it allowed yielding a reference (it doesn't), you are not assigning by
reference in
$my_var = ...
The assign by reference operator is "=&", not "=".

Description:

Hi,
PHP throws a fatal error when code like this is processed:
$my_var = (true)?(&$some_obj):(&$some_other_obj->some_arr_pop[]);
Which is not a problem if put like this of course:
$my_var;
if(true){
$my_var = &$some_obj;
}else{
$my_var = &$some_other_obj->some_arr_pop[];
}
Affects both PHP 5.2.x and 5.3.x
