Description:
------------
Code witch works in PHP4 and 5.0 results in an error in 5.1.0 rc1:  PHP Fatal error:  Cannot re-assign $this.

It can be fixed by removing the &. May be its no bug, but the error message is not clear to me: $this isn't assigned; $temp is.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<html>
<body>
<? 

class test {
	function doit() {
		$temp = &$this;
		return $temp;
	}
}

$obj = new test;
$result = $obj->doit();

?>
Ok<br>
</body>
</html>

Expected result:
----------------
OK

Actual result:
--------------
[Tue Sep 13 12:36:28 2005] [error] [client 192.168.100.46] PHP Fatal error:  Cannot re-assign $this in /home/httpd/sites/devrw/root/test.php on line 7
