However, if the array is copied from another array and unchanged, ArrayObject will also change the another array. I thought it was a "copy-on-write" problem. thank you for any help Please excuse my English, it isn't very good. Reproduce code: --------------- $base = array('key' => 'old value'); $copy = $base; $ao = new ArrayObject($copy); $ao['key'] = 'new value'; echo '$base["key"] = ', $base['key'], "\n"; echo '$copy["key"] = ', $copy['key'], "\n"; echo '$ao["key"] = ', $ao['key'], "\n"; Expected result: ---------------- $base["key"] = old value $copy["key"] = new value $ao["key"] = new value Actual result: -------------- $base["key"] = new value $copy["key"] = new value $ao["key"] = new value ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42065&edit=1
