Problem about php outputs!

Question

for example:
<?php
function test_global_ref() {
global $obj;
$obj = &new stdclass;
function test_global_noref() {
global $obj;
$obj = new stdclass;
test_global_ref();
var_dump($obj);
test_global_noref();
var_dump($obj);
?>
Executing this example will result in the following output:
NULL
object(stdClass)(0) {
but on my pc :
Executing this example will result in the following output:
NULL object(stdClass)#1 (0) { }
why do not the same?
except style but it has been a #.
who can help me find it out?
