Is this as designed? If I do unset($Item) before second foreach then it works as expected. Test script: --------------- <?php $Items = [['Code' => 'A'], ['Item' => 'B']]; foreach ($Items as &$Item) $Item['Hash'] = rand(1, 10); foreach ($Items as $Item) echo ' '.$Item['Code']; Expected result: ---------------- A B Actual result: -------------- A A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73622&edit=1
