Bug #62233 [NEW]: foreach destroys arrays

From: a1283465 at jnxjn dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.3.13 Package: Arrays related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:foreach destroys arrays Description: ------------ See script outputs below. Please note that the array is already broken after the first foreach run because the last array element is now a pointer. Workaround for the second foreach loop: Do a unset($val) between the two foreach loops. Test script: --------------- $a = array(1,2,3); var_dump($a); // array(3) { [0]=> int(1) [1]=> int(2) [2]=> int(3) } foreach ($a as &$val) { } // Now the array is broken var_dump($a); // array(3) { [0]=> int(1) [1]=> int(2) [2]=> &int(3) } foreach ($a as $val) { } // Now the array is destroyed var_dump($a); // array(3) { [0]=> int(1) [1]=> int(2) [2]=> &int(2) } echo $a[2]; // Output: 2, Expected: 3 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62233&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62233&r=mysqlcfg
