On a Fedora 4 machine running MySQL 4.1 I am having trouble declaring an
instance of a mysqli extension.

class Data extends mysqli {
function __construct($host, $user, $password, $db = null)
{
@parent::__construct($host, $user, $password, $db)
or printf("There was an error (id: %d) connecting to the database:
<b>%s</b><br />", mysqli_connect_errno(),
mysqli_connect_error());
}

....

}

$link = new Data("localhost", "user", "password", "db");

This invokes the error "Trying to clone unclonable object of type Data."
However if I create the link with a reference ...
$link =& new Data(....);
....everything works fine.

This error is interesting because it only occurs on the machine mentioned
above, in a Windows/MySQL 5.0 environment, everything works fine without the
reference.


Thanks in advance!
Matt
