Something I haven’t talked about a whole lot on here is that I’m actually a professional PHP developer. It’s my job, so usually I don’t mix work and online stuff. This is pretty cool though, so I want people to be able to find it if they’re trying to figure out how to do it. Be warned, if you’re not a PHP coder the following post will make ZERO sense to you 
Before I get into what a “reference array” is (I made that term up) let me guide you through the discovery and some practical uses of the theory around references. A while ago I was looking for a way to do something in code that didn’t seem very possible. I wanted to do this:
$var1 = 'Hello World';
echo $"var1";
Problem is, that doesn’t work.. instead I found that you can use variable variables (also known as dynamic variables)

The iPhone Dev Team just released a new version of their PwnageTool, which is capable of Jailbreaking the iPhone 2G/3G and iPod Touch 1G. For the rest of us 3GS/iTouch 2G/New iTouch owners (I have both!) we can do nothing but wait for a new version of redsnow. I’m hosting a mirror of the new version of PwnageTool (link later), but please… as the Dev Team reiterates multiple times in their post, read and reread their post and follow it to the letter!

I would like to set the facts straight on this issue once and for all, even if the only way I can do that is by publishing my own blog post (which no one will read). You can read my response later on in the post.
Yeah, you. In a recent U.S. copyright filing, Apple apparently claims that the jailbreaking of iPhone operating systems leads to problems in the AT&T network, probably helping to explain the general unreliability network users have experienced. If “general unreliability” sounds a little harmless, keep in mind that Apple is also making the case that jailbreaking could make it possible for users to crash cell phone towers.
Of course, you can see why AT&T wouldn’t like this. But there may be more to the story. Apple’s comments apparently also noted that the altering of the baseband processor BBP of the Apple is what would allow people to crash the towers. Maybe not so coincidentally, “unlocking” the iPhone in this manner would also allow consumers to use networks other than AT&T.
Maybe “unlocking,” and not jailbreaking, is simply bad for business.
