This is almost certainly the problem.

Note that in PHP 5 the default behaviour of the assignment operator is
changed with respect to how it operates on objects, and is closer to the
Java behaviour which is what I think you were expecting.

PHP 4:

<?php
$a = new Object();
$b = $a;
// Variables $a and $b point to two different objects.
// Changes to $a do not effect $b.
?>

PHP 5:

<?php
$a = new Object();
$b = $a;
// Variables $a and $b point to the same object.
// Changes to $a effect $b.
?>
