Description: ------------ Please see bug #25831 in the PHP bug tracking system: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25831 There is a verified problem in the scripting engine which causes pass-by-reference to fail when a class is overloaded. This problem will not be fixed in PHP 4 (see the bug for details). The conditional overloading at the bottom of DB_DataObject.php should be fixed to cover all versions that demonstrate this problem, since it breaks basic functionality. To my knowledge this applies to versions 4.3.2 and higher.

looks like the only way to fix this is define('DB_DATAOBJECT_NO_OVERLOAD'); require_once 'DB/DataObject.php'; .. and inside dataobjects.. if (..phpversioncheck... && !defined('DB_DATAOBJECT_NO_OVERLOAD') { overload(...) }

This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net. In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show up on the website in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better.
