global $ACTUAL_FORM;

$form = new my_class;
    
$GLOBALS["ACTUAL_FORM"] = &$form;
#$ACTUAL_FORM = &$form;

If we consider both lines equivalent for any other kind of variables, the second one doesn't work for class references.

Here are my compilation options:

Configure command: './configure' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.12' '--enable-track-vars'
'--prefix=/soft/php-4.0RC1' '--with-yp' '--with-sybase-ct=/soft/sybase'
'--with-ldap=/soft/openldap-1.2.1' '--with-gdbm=/soft/gdbm-1.7.3' '--with-gd=/soft/gd-1.7.3'
'--with-zlib=/soft/zlib-1.1.3' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-xml'
'--with-mysql=/soft/mysql-3.22.27' '--enable-trans-sid' '--disable-debug'

Greetings

Not a bug. This is how it should work.
global $ACTUAL_FORM assigns local variable to be reference to global one.
If you re-assign it with another reference, it loses previous assignment.
