That's not a trick that's a fundamental. IMNSHO you don't really know the language if you aren't comfortable with references.
Yeah, but still you have to learn it somewhere...
If you hint me in the right direction I could probably find it, is 'operators' the correct term to search for? I'm not a native English speaker.
It is an operator but that won't actually explain it much. In this case: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php I don't have a good 'compiled tips & tricks' to send you to unfortunately, but reading through the above should give you a better feel for how references work.
