Description:
------------
I have problem with $GLOBALS while executing scripts via SOAP Service. Objects passed by reference is not set in $GLOBALS and cannot be used in other classes. The same code works perfectly if executed direct in browser.

Reproduce code:
---------------
client.php
----------------------------------------------
ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");
 $client = new SoapClient("test.wsdl", array('trace'=> 1, 'exceptions' => 0));
print $client->testGlobals();

--------------------------------------------
server.php
----------------------------------------------
function testGlobals() {
	global $TestClass1, $TestClass2;
	require_once 'inc.php';
	return $TestClass2->testvar2;
}
ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");
$server = new SoapServer("test.wsdl");
$server->addFunction("testGlobals");
$server->handle();

--------------------------------------------
inc.php
--------------------------------------------
require_once('TestClass1.class.php');
require_once('TestClass2.class.php');
$TestClass2 = new TestClass2();

-------------------------------------------
TestClass1.class.php
-------------------------------------------
class TestClass1 {

	public $testvar1;
	function TestClass1() {
		$this->testvar1 = 100;
	}
}

$TestClass1 = & new TestClass1();

---------------------------------------------
TestClass2.class.php
---------------------------------------------
class TestClass2 {

	public $testvar2;
	function TestClass2() {
		global $TestClass1;
		$this->testvar2 = $TestClass1->testvar1;
	}
}




Expected result:
----------------
I expect the value 100 to be returned by service. 

Actual result:
--------------
Nothing is returned. The reason is that in TestClass2 there is no $GLOBALS['TestClass1'] unless I pass $TestClass1 by value:
(last line of TestClass1.class.php):
$TestClass1 = new TestClass1();

What is wrong here?

I have just tested it on Apache/1.3.33 (Debian GNU/Linux) and PHP/5.2.3. Same behaviour.

Thank you. I used the link you gave for windows (zip). But the objects passed by reference are still not saved in $GLOBALS. For the above example the object $TestClass1 is not saved in $GLOBALS['TestClass1'] when passed by reference and therefore it can not be access in TestClass2. 

global $TestClass1 <- this line doesn't point to the object unless I pass the object by value.

Your expectation is wrong and report is not releated to SOAP at all.
It is related to "global" and references.
The following script does exactly the same.

<?php
class TestClass1 {
	public $testvar1;
	function TestClass1() {
		$this->testvar1 = 100;
	}
}

class TestClass2 {
	public $testvar2;
	function TestClass2() {
		global $TestClass1;
		$this->testvar2 = $TestClass1->testvar1;
	}
}

function testGlobals() {
	global $TestClass1, $TestClass2;
	$TestClass1 =& new TestClass1(); // breaking reference
	$TestClass2 = new TestClass2();
	return $TestClass2->testvar2;
}

var_dump(testGlobals());
?>

global $TestClass1; - $TestClass1 become a reference to a global variable
$TestClass1 =& ...  - $TestClass1 become a reference to assigned object (the global variable is not affected by such assignment)
 
Thank you for report anyway.
