Returning references

[abhighat4214]

function &$foo ()
{
$stringVal = "temp";
return $stringVal;
}

$value = $foo() = "some new value";

This is triggering an error called, "Cannot use function in write context". Actually speaking it should work because we're returning a reference. Am I missing something here ? Please guide me.

P.S. I find this forum very happening, no matter how silly my questions are they are always answered :)

What are you trying to do? You can't have 3 values equal to each other in one line, it is not true logic. Atleast from all the logic I know. Let us know what you are trying to do.
