Is there a major flaw with PHPs variable handling, in 4.3.11?

[mydejamail]

Is there a major flaw with PHPs variable handling? I am writing some
PHP scripts and the variables seem to be all over the place.

Eg in one instance, I am counting the number of times a for loop gets
executed. When I force termination the loop count is always set to the
maximum. When I copy the loops current value to a different one, that
variables value also gets changed.

Some procedures don't work when I pass some variables by reference, so
I have to make the variables global to ensure proper output.

The version of PHP I am using is 4.3.11 and I wonder if its variable
handling is totally hosed. It is proving very frustrating.

This sounds like it could be related to the reference problem:

Dunno about the loop problem, do you have some example code?

There shouldn't be anything hosed about 4.3.11 in the general case.
As other's have suggested, post some code and we'll see what we can do
about it.
