From: huf at nws dot hu Operating system: linux 2.6 PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: Arrays related Bug description: foreach (var as &var construct overwrites last element of array Description: ------------ it looks like foreach (var as &val) syntax leaves a refecence alive after the last iteration. calling a subsequent foreach (var as val) (same variable being used to iterate, but not as a ref now), the reference from the first foreach is used to update the array... Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $array = array(1, 2, 3); foreach ($array as &$a) { } unset($a); var_dump($array); foreach ($array as $a) { } var_dump($array); Expected result: ---------------- $array unchanged Actual result: -------------- $array changed. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48561&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48561&r=mysqlcfg
