And there is no other description about array ordering in http://php.net/manual/en/migration71.incompatible.php But, when I have confirmed the result, I saw that the output of php5.6.21 and php7.1.0RC3 are same. I think that it is bug of PHP7.1.0RC3, but please confirm it is a bug or not. Thank you. Test script: --------------- 1. php56.exe -r "$array = []; $array['a'] =& $array['b']; $array['b'] = 1; var_dump($array);" Output: array(2) { ["b"]=> &int(1) ["a"]=> &int(1) } 2. // php7.0.6 php70.exe -r "$array = []; $array['a'] =& $array['b']; $array['b'] = 1; var_dump($array);" Output: array(2) { ["a"]=> &int(1) ["b"]=> &int(1) } 3. php71.exe -r "$array = []; $array['a'] =& $array['b']; $array['b'] = 1; var_dump($array);" Output: array(2) { ["b"]=> &int(1) ["a"]=> &int(1) } Expected result: ---------------- When executing this script 3. php71.exe -r "$array = []; $array['a'] =& $array['b']; $array['b'] = 1; var_dump($array);" The output will be same the output of php7.0.6 array(2) { ["a"]=> &int(1) ["b"]=> &int(1) } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73207&edit=1
