<?php

class Database 
{
    var $s_dbServer;

    function changeVarValue($s_varname, $s_value) 
    {
    	$this->$s_varname = $s_value;
        return true;    	
    }
}

?>

The above example fails to load. In windows apache crashes.. In linux i get an error.

"$this->$s_varname = $s_value;"
that is what makes it crash. Probably because of $s_varname
changing it $this->s_dbServer makes it work. But using the variable $s_varname = dead server.

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments
to the existing bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Im sorry. I did take a look on the other bug reports before submitting it, and i couldn't find similar anywhere. The auto search function (after posting it) didn't find it either.

I searched for the word "object" and php version "5". 22 results.. But the above one was not shown.

Don't worry :) This kind of entry is generally hard to find..
