I don't think this is the expected behavior. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $a = array('a', 'b','c'); foreach($a as &$row){ //you don't have to do anything here } print_r($a); foreach($a as $row){ echo "<br />".$row; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- a b c Actual result: -------------- a b b ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48875&edit=1
