w00t! I may be installing this on my home linux server this week. (If I can find time.)

While you're downloading PHP 5, don't forget to fill out the Zend survey. I did mine 2 days ago.

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

I just read this article (here), which talked about the new OOP model for the Zend Engine 2 (part of PHP5).

Apparently, PHP4 didn't handle objects (or object members) by reference (always-pass by-val). I never knew that. Very sloppy.

The new model will handle objects (and object members) by reference now. It will also support private, public, protected, and static members/methods. As well as destructor methods. w00t!

PHP 4.3.2 was just released about 2 months ago. Is PHP 5 in beta or something?

Edit: lol, never mind. I truly need to get some coffee into me before posting in the morning.

Yea, I noticed that. 'memory issues'. This illustrates that:

<?php
class FormClass {
    
    var $num;
    
    function setNum($num ){
    $this->num = $num;
         }
    
    function getNum(){
        return $this->num;
    }
}

$f = new FormClass();
$f->setNum(1);

class Ref {
    var $num;
    
    function setNum($num){
      $this->fob = $GLOBALS[\"f\"];
      $this->fob->setNum($num);
      }
    
    function getNum(){
        return $this->fob->getNum();
    }
}

$r = new Ref();
$r->setNum(22);
echo \"<br><br>form object 1 num: \" . $f->getNum() . \"<br>\";
echo \"form object 2 num: \" . $r->getNum();
?>
