Returning by-reference is useful when you want to use a function to find which variable a reference should be bound to. When returning references, use this syntax:
<?php function &find_var($param)
{ /* ...code... */ return$found_var;
}
$foo=&find_var($bar); $foo->x=2; ?>
In this example, the property of the object returned by the find_var function would be set, not the copy, as it would be without using reference syntax.
Note: Unlike parameter passing, here you have to use & in both places - to indicate that you return by-reference, not a copy as usual, and to indicate that
reference binding, rather than usual assignment, should be done for $foo.
