So I was looking at the Codeigniter code and ran across an oddly placed ampersand.
In common.php
The function:
function &load;_class($class, $instantiate = TRUE)
The instance:
$error =& load_class('Exceptions');
What exactly does the ampersand do here?
Sorry if it's a beginner question, I'm just curious...and new
Thanks.

See Returning references
and Refereces in the PHP manual.
