#31114 [Asn->WFx]: foreach modify array (works with PHP 5.1)

ID: 31114 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: clemens at gutweiler dot net -Status: Assigned +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: Linux 2.4.27 PHP Version: 4CVS Assigned To: andi New Comment: We are sorry, but we can not support PHP 4 related problems anymore. Momentum is gathering for PHP 6, and we think supporting PHP 4 will lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 6 ready.

Assigning to Andi, as he might have a clue why this happens. The new foreach code is definitely not the problem here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-16 13:07:17] derick@php.net (The only bug here is that it doesn't give a warning, using $k for both key and value is not supposed to work!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-16 11:41:54] derick@php.net I don't think this was ever supposed to work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
