A function cannot return a reference to a created object.

Bug or intentionally missing feature?  You decide...  

example:

function blah() {
  $stuff = "some really really big string";
  return &$stuff;
}

... parser error.

You can do this in the following way (should work)
function &blah()
{
   $stuff = "foo";
   return $stuff;
}
