This bug was resolved by changing some code. If you add a & before the name of the function in the function declaration: function &myFunction() { } it allows it to be passed as a reference. Hope this helps.

I suppose that I don't need to get a xml parser by reference, I do not analyse all the code yet, since this code was get from an Open Source Project. I posted a sample code at: http://www.infopoa-ti.com/xml_parser_by_ref.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-10 01:00:04] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a week, so it is being suspended automatically.

To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If possible, make the script source available online and provide an URL to it here. Try to avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-01 23:47:05] rick dot martinez at gmail dot com Description: ------------ I have a static function that is supposed to return an instance of an object. $object = &Object2::getObject(); This works perfectly in PHP 5.0.4.4 but breaks in PHP5.0.x CVS. It returns error: * Only variables should be assigned by reference If I create an instance for that variable first, it gets fixed. $object = new object; $object = &Object2::getObject(); Is this proper behavior or is this some sort of bug? If it is proper behavior, please change this back. It breaks a LOT of my code. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33542&edit=1
