PHP - Manual: 引用是什么
2024-11-14
引用是什么
在 PHP 中引用意味着用不同的名字访问同一个变量内容。这并不像 C 的指针：例如你不能对他们做指针运算，他们并不是实际的内存地址…… 查看引用不是什么了解更多信息。 替代的是，引用是符号表别名。注意在PHP 中，变量名和变量内容是不一样的， 因此同样的内容可以有不同的名字。最接近的比喻是 Unix 的文件名和文件本身——变量名是目录条目，而变量内容则是文件本身。引用可以被看作是 Unix 文件系统中的硬链接。

Unlike in C, PHP references are not treated as pre-dereferenced pointers, but as complete aliases.
The data that they are aliasing ("referencing") will not become available for garbage collection until all references to it have been removed.
"Regular" variables are themselves considered references, and are not treated differently from variables assigned using =& for the purposes of garbage collection.
The following examples are provided for clarification.
1) When treated as a variable containing a value, references behave as expected. However, they are in fact objects that *reference* the original data.
<?php
var = "foo";
$ref1 =& $var; // new object that references $var
$ref2 =& $ref1; // references $var directly, not $ref1!!!!!
echo $ref; // >foo
unset($ref);
echo $ref1; // >Notice: Undefined variable: ref1
echo $ref2; // >foo
echo $var; // >foo
?>
2) When accessed via reference, the original data will not be removed until *all* references to it have been removed. This includes both references and "regular" variables assigned without the & operator, and there are no distinctions made between the two for the purpose of garbage collection.
<?php
$var = "foo";
$ref =& $var;
unset($var);
echo $var; // >Notice: Undefined variable: var
echo $ref; // >foo
?>
3) To remove the original data without removing all references to it, simply set it to null.
<?php
$var = "foo";
$ref =& $var;
$ref = NULL;
echo $var; // Value is NULL, so nothing prints
echo $ref; // Value is NULL, so nothing prints
?>
4) Placing data in an array also counts as adding one more reference to it, for the purposes of garbage collection.

The following three code snippets show the effect of using references in scalar variables, arrays and objects under different circumstances.
In any case the result is the expected one if you stick to the concept that a reference is an alias to a variable. After assigning by reference ( no matter if $a =& $b or $b =& $a ) both variable names refer to the same variable.
References with scalars
<?php
/*
References are aliases for the same variable
*/
$a = 1;
$b =& $a;
$b = 2;
echo "$a,$b\n"; // 2,2
$a = 3;
echo "$a,$b\n"; // 3,3
// Variables can be bound before being assigned
$c =& $d;
$c = 4;
echo "$c,$d\n"; // 4,4
?>
References with arrays
<?php
/*
Array elements referencing scalar variables
*/
$a = 1;
$b = 2;
$c = array(&$a, &$b);
$a = 3;
$b = 4;
echo "c: $c[0],$c[1]\n"; // 3,4
$c[0] = 5;
$c[1] = 6;
echo "a,b: $a,$b\n"; // 5,6
/*
Reference between arrays
*/
$d = array(1,2);
$e =& $d;
$d[0] = 3;
$d[1] = 4;
echo "e: $e[0],$e[1]\n"; // 3,4
$e[0] = 5;
$e[1] = 6;
echo "d: $d[0],$d[1]\n"; // 5,6
$e = 7;
echo "d: $d\n"; // 7 ( $d is no more an array, but an integer )
/*
Iterating an array of references using foreach construct
*/
$a = 1;
$b = 2;
$f = array(&$a,&$b);
foreach($f as $x) // If $x is assigned by value it doesn't change referred variables.
$x = 3;
echo "a,b: $a,$b\n"; // 1,2
foreach($f as &$x) // If $x is assigned by reference it changes referred variables.
$x = 3;
echo "a,b: $a,$b\n"; // 3,3
// Be aware that, after the loop, $x still references $f[1] and so $b
$x = 4;
echo "a,b: $a,$b\n"; // 3,4 ( $b affected )
// To avoid previous side effects it is advisable to unset x, unlinking it from $f[1] and $b
unset($x);
$x = 5;
echo "a,b: $a,$b\n"; // 3,4 ( $b not affected )
?>
References with objects
<?php
/*
Object property referencing a scalar variable
*/
$a = 1;
$b = new stdClass();
$b->x =& $a;
$a = 2;
echo "b->x: $b->x\n"; // 2
$b->x = 3;
echo "a: $a\n"; // 3
/* Reference between objects */
$c = new stdClass();
$c->x = 1;
$d =& $c;
$d->x = 2;
echo "c->x: $c->x\n"; // 2
$d = new stdClass();
$d->y = 3;
echo "c->y: $c->y\n"; // 3
echo "c->x: $c->x\n"; // Undefined property: stdClass::$x
?>

In summary, "&$reference" means "do-not-copy-on-write the value here, in perpetuity". Assigning by reference is not assignment, it's "make &$variable a reference and its value do-not-copy-on-write, in perpetuity, and make the variable I'm assigning to use that do-not-copy-on-write value as well".
To "unreference/unalias" you have to either unset or make an explicit copy into a new variable.
Object properties that are references will survive cloning and remain references. Generally the same is true with references in arrays and PHP's array functions (combine, intersect, call_user_func, func_get_args, etc).
Calling a function that uses a reference parameter will *make* the supplied variable a reference. This is also true when using variadic array expansion for arguments; the supplier's array element will become a reference.
Generally, don't use them unless you're dealing with low-level calls, or need an accumulator, etc. For poorly designed functions that use them, give them a copy to mangle.
