Description:
------------
Hi guys, i received a strict error, but i`m confused what function received...

Why I'm receiving a variables should be passed by reference when i use t($a=1)? the t() function received 1, or the variable $a with value = 1?

Test script:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
function t(&$a){}

t($a=1); /// should not receive error!! t() received ($a=1)? or t received (1) without variable $a reference?
?>

[beto@conquista2 ~]# php t.php
PHP Strict Standards:  Only variables should be passed by reference in /home/beto/t.php on line 5

Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in /home/beto/t.php on line 5


Expected result:
----------------
no errors

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Strict Standards:  Only variables should be passed by reference in /home/beto/t.php on line 5

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
