ID: 45135 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: byraul at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: 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 As explained by Felix. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-30 09:04:43] felix dot devliegher at gmail dot com This is not a bug, but expected behaviour. The last iteration of the foreach with reference value references itself, with a current value of 'one3' at that point, thus saving one3 as last value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-30 08:51:12] byraul at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Reference problems Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $matches = array( array('one0', 'two0', 'three0'), array('one1', 'two1', 'three1'), array('one2', 'two2', 'three2'), array('one3', 'two3', 'three3'), array('one4', 'two4', 'three4'), ); foreach($matches as $key=>&$value) { } foreach($matches as $value) { echo $value[0] . PHP_EOL; } Expected result: ---------------- one0 one1 one2 one3 one4 Actual result: -------------- one0 one1 one2 one3 one3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45135&edit=1
