Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

getTestArray() is called each time anew. Since in the first example
getTestArray() returns new array each time, it loops forever.

Description:
------------
Infinite loop when using a function call which returns an array in
each( )



Reproduce code:
---------------
Infinite loop here (prints "1 -> 1\n" forever)

while( list( $k, $v ) = each( getTestArray() ) ) {
  echo "$k -> $v\n";
}

function getTestArray() {
  return array( "1" => "1" );
}

This works OK (prints "1 -> 1" once):

$GLOBALS['test'] = array( "1" => "1" );

while( list( $k, $v ) = each( getTestArray() ) ) {
  echo "$k -> $v\n";
}

function getTestArray() {
  return $GLOBALS['test'];
}
