Re: [PHP] Ver 5.0 Questions ...

[John English]

Check these two nice articles on PHP5:
http://www.sitepoint.com/print/1192 by Harry Fuecks 
[http://www.phppatterns.com]
http://www.phpvolcano.com/articles/php5/index.php

I was wondering if there is a timeline for version 5, if so where can 
I find it ...

Also I am developing an application that I pass a lot of objects by 
reference, will that cause problems in version 5 ?

As far as I can see in the http://www.php.net/zend-engine-2.php there 
is nothing there to suggest that this will be a problem

thanks

[PHP] Reference problem

[John English]

I'm trying to build a tree of objects using PHP4, but I'm getting
tangled in reference problems. Some test code that illustrates the
problem:

  class X {
var $parent;
var $ident;
var $kids;
function X (&$parent,$number) {
  $this->parent = $parent;
  $this->ident  = $number;
  $this->kids   = array();
}
  }

  $root = new X($here,1);
  $here =& $root;
  for ($i = 2; $i < 5; $i++) {
$elem = new X($here,$i);
$here->kids[] = $elem;
$here =& $elem;  #--- ???
  }
  print_r($root);

I'm hoping for a structure where each node has a link to the parent
node and an array of child nodes. Instead I get a recursive set of
trees; removing the & on the line marked "???" means I get an empty
kids array in the first child node. I've been sprinkling &'s around
(and unsprinkling them ;-) and my head is starting to hurt.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

TIA,

...unless you keep your include directory outside the web tree (which
is what I always do). That way the files can only be accessed by
an include/require from a PHP script inside the web tree.
