Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-04-26 17:56:03] php at darkain dot com Description: ------------ As shown in the test script, when a switch statement is used on a byref variable from a foreach, the reference is lost, and it changes to byval instead. This regression was introduced in 7.0.5, and worked perfectly otherwise in previous builds of 7.0.x, 5.6, and HHVM https://3v4l.org/eg1oT Test script: --------------- $array = ['broken']; foreach($array as &$values) { switch ($values) { case 'broken': $values = 'WORKING'; break; } } var_dump($array); Expected result: ---------------- array(1) { [0]=> &string(7) "WORKING" } Actual result: -------------- array(1) { [0]=> string(6) "broken" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72108&edit=1
