Bug #51986 [NEW]: array_filter breaks references when a callback is used
From:
Operating system: Windows XP
PHP version: 5.3.2
Package: Arrays related
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:array_filter breaks references when a callback is used
Description:
------------
I have an array and a variable which is a reference on some element in this
array:
$arr=array('a'); $ref = &$arr[0]
If I apply array_filter() with a callback like trim() or count() on the
array, the reference is broken and $ref is no longer a reference (If I
apply array_filter() without a callback, the reference is not altered and
the result is correct).
I think that this is a regression introduced in php 5.2.11: with the test
script below, 5.2.10 give the good result, 5.2.11 do not.
I also tested with the latest version (5.3.2): same result, reference is
broken.
PS: I tested on windows XP with packages php-5.x.y-Win32-VC6-x86.zip
provided on this page: http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/
Test script:
---------------
// Init
$arr = array('some value');
$ref = & $arr[0];
// Change $arr
$arr[0] = 'ONE';
echo 'step 1. $ref is ', ($ref !== 'ONE') ? 'BROKEN' : 'OK',
"\n";
// Apply array_filter (without callback) and change $arr
array_filter($arr);
$arr[0] = 'TWO';
echo 'step 2. $ref is ', ($ref !== 'TWO') ? 'BROKEN' : 'OK',
"\n";
// Apply array_filter (with a callback) then change $arr
array_filter($arr,'trim');
$arr[0] = 'THREE';
echo 'step 3. $ref is ', ($ref !== 'THREE') ? 'BROKEN' :
'OK', "\n";
Expected result:
----------------
step 1. $ref is OK
step 2. $ref is OK
step 3. $ref is OK
Actual result:
--------------
step 1. $ref is OK
step 2. $ref is OK
step 3. $ref is BROKEN
