    Object in array turns into reference when I access it.


    Can anyone explain this? I'm running PHP Version 4.3.7

    <?php
    class foo {
    function bar() {
    }
    }

    $array["foo"] = new foo();

    var_dump($array );
    // Returns:
    // array(1) {
    // ["foo"]=>
    // object(foo)(0) {
    // }
    // }

    $array["foo"]->bar();

    var_dump($array );
    // Returns
    // array(1) {
    // ["foo"]=>
    // &object(foo) (0) { <-- How did that happen?
    // }
    // }
    ?>

          Thank you. So it is a bug. The last comment talks about the
          __clone() method in Zend 2, which seems slightly tangential to the
          problem. Can someone with PHP5 installed run my script and show me
          what happens?

              Yes:

              array(1) {
              ["foo"]=>
              object(foo)#1 (0) {
              }
              }
              array(1) {
              ["foo"]=>
              object(foo)#1 (0) {
              }
              }

              HTH,

              PS: I used the script you gave in the first post, if you need me to test
              another, i'd love to help.

              Best regards,
              Sebastian

                  Thanks. That's much more sensible behaviour. One more reason to
                  switch to PHP5 ASAP.
