The next foreach dumps each key with its entry. We can see that the last entry is equal to "titi2" and not "tutu2" (so it appears to be equal to the previous entry). The last commented out foreach demonstrates that if the var used for the entry is different ($val <> $val2), then there's no bug. But you must comment out the second foreach first. Test script: --------------- <?php $a = [ 'toto', 'titi', 'tutu', ]; foreach ($a as $key => &$val) $val .= '2'; foreach ($a as $key => $val) var_dump($key, $val); // foreach ($a as $key => $val2) // var_dump($key, $val2); Actual result: -------------- int(0) string(5) "toto2" int(1) string(5) "titi2" int(2) string(5) "titi2" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73160&edit=1
