passing references

[Tole]

hi all,
i have some doubts in passing variables by references in php.
i usually use
class blah
{
function Params( &$params)
{
$this->params =& $params;
}
}
where $params is an array.
is the second & unnecessary?
is there any difference if $params is object instead of array?

thnx

tole

Re: passing references

Actually it is not a bad idea to do it so...

A few months ago I asked the same question and it was:

Is this good coding practice:

$var = & nl2br($var);

The conclusion of the debate was:

the worst thing it can happen is nothing...

the best thing it can happen is a bit of time & memory saving.....

hope this helps....

Re: passing references

I thought support for references was being depreciated.

Why.
