I was filling a array in the session and looped it with array_shift until the arry was empty. This loop kept giving me the first value but did not erased it from te original arry. Reproduce code: --------------- $row = array_shift(@$_SESSION['villas']); Expected result: ---------------- 1. $row getting the first element from $_SESSION['villas'] 2. $_SESSION['villas'] to get lost the first element. Actual result: -------------- 1. $row getting the first element from $_SESSION['villas'] 2. $_SESSION['villas'] did not lost the first element and was unchanged I cann bypass this failure by using: $arr_temp = @$_SESSION['villas']; $row = array_shift($arr_temp); $_SESSION['villas'] = $arr_temp; unset($arr_temp); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47623&edit=1
