I would like to write a test using simpleTest that would fail if the method I'm testing results in a PHP E_NOTICE "undefined index : foo". I tried expectError() and expectException() without success.

I always thought that variable created there is only ever temporary and exists only until the end of the loop (or maybe it remains set to the last iteration - I have not tested it). So, what are the advantages of making it pass by reference? I'm sure th...
