No. referencs are not pointers! Here in " $a = &new A("wsx") " I assign $a
by reference, and now $a references the different location, and $arr[0]
references the same. Assigning $a by references doesnt affect $arr[0],
though the pointed to the same location before...
After all this is the prove:
This is my previous assignment code:
class A
{
var $name;
function A($str)
{
$this->name = $str;
}
}
$arr = array();
//Put to array to objects of class A,
// where their attribute A::a is assigned a different value
//objects are assigned to an array by reference
$a = &new A("qaz");
$arr[0] = &$a;
$a = &new A("wsx");
$arr[1] = &$a;
//HERE IS THE PROVE
print_r($arr);
//Watch the OUTPUT... there are DIFFERENT objects laying in the array! This
is the point of my question...
// But if you do this:
foreach($arr as $a)
{
echo "(".$a->name.")";
}
// You see that iterating the objects it somehow references the same
object...
// or the same 'name' attrribute of the first object in the array...
