Im looking at some code..

$somevar =& somefunction();

What does =& mean or do? This is not a regular passing of value into a variable is it?

Thanks :)
@j1586 -> Hi, i think its not a typo at all.. I also found that in codeigniter php library. (http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/creating_libraries.html)

Im just wondering if there is a difference between having the '&' sign and without. I tried that without '&' but still works..
