I created a function that created two datetimes based on a first one :
// initial datetime (for test)
$dt = new \Datetime;
$dt->setDate(2012, 9, 5);
// splitting into 2 different datetimes
$dates = $this->defineLimitsByDate($dt);
// $dates[0] = 2011-07-01
// $dates[1] = 2012-09-01
For the moment, everything's right. Now I pass these datetimes into an other function in which I use a while loop that increments the first date until she reaches the second one :
// now I use the 2 datetimes into a function...
$dateKeys = $this->generateDateKeys($dates[0], $dates[1]);
// and the function seems to modify them outside itself !
// $dates[0] = 2012-10-01
// $dates[1] = 2012-09-01
It seems that the while loop inside my function generateDateKeys is not locally modifying the parameters. It changes the value of $dates outside the function. But I never use a reference passing.
Can anyone enlighten me about it ?
