Yes I know it is poor programming habits to do like I did... But I have a
reason for it. I have quite a lot methods that accept objects *optional*. So
f.e.:
---
class Product
{
var $language;
function Product($language = FALSE)
{
$this->language = $language;
}
}
---
Now to make this possible it becomes impossible to do what you suggest:
function Product(&$language = FALSE)
is not allowed. And in my application this optional arguments functionality
is very important. So I have preferred this over the decent habit.
