Note that using another variable in the second 'foreach' the result is Ok. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $v = array (1,2,3); foreach($v as &$value); print_r($v); foreach($v as $value); print_r($v); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 ) Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 ) Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 2 ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43806&edit=1
