Test if an item is an object or a reference to an object

Hi,

Using php 4.4.4, let's say I have an array of objects or references to
objects. If I picked out an arbitrary element, $n, how would I know
if that was an object or a reference to an object?

Thanks, - Dave

You can't.

Why does it matter? Look at it this way: all variables are references to
specific values in memory, sometimes more variables then one reference
this bit, often it's just a single one.

What's the actual problem you're trying to solve?
