php函数里面传指针

今天在代码里面看到一个迷惑的地方，函数形参是个指针。想一想也是对的，传指针可以修改在函数之外的变量，这个跟在foreach里面用用指针&key赋值，之后unset一样的道理，mark一下

$pc = new \WXBizDataCrypt($this->wechat_app->app_id, $session_key);
$errCode = $pc->decryptData($this->encrypted_data, $this->iv, $data);
    if ($errCode == 0) {
        $data = json_decode($data, true);
        $user = User::findOne(['wechat_open_id' => $data['openId'], 'store_id' => $this->store_id]);
        if (!$user) {

class WXBizDataCrypt
{
    public static $OK = 0;
    public static $IllegalAesKey = -41001;
    public static $IllegalIv = -41002;
    public static $IllegalBuffer = -41003;
    public static $DecodeBase64Error = -41004;

    private $appid;
    private $sessionKey;

    /**

    public function __construct($appid, $sessionKey)
    {
        $this->sessionKey = $sessionKey;
        $this->appid = $appid;
    }

    public function decryptData($encryptedData, $iv, &$data)
    {
        if (strlen($this->sessionKey) != 24) {
            return static::$IllegalAesKey;
        }
        $aesKey = base64_decode($this->sessionKey);


        if (strlen($iv) != 24) {
            return static::$IllegalIv;
        }
        $aesIV = base64_decode($iv);

        $aesCipher = base64_decode($encryptedData);

        }

    }
