Are you sure about that? I just found this stackoverflow question whose chosen answer states that you do not need to use & with objects. I suppose that fairly soon I will find out for myself once my code is wired and I start testing it. SO: stackoverflow.com/questions/2715026/…

PHP doesn't have pointers, use need to pass by reference &$object to not pass the object by value. Passing a copy and manipulating it will have effect in the scope of the method.
