ID: 16227 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: php.net@alienbill.com -Status: Analyzed +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: ANY PHP Version: 4.2.0-dev New Comment: It's not a flaw, it's designed like this. Derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-23 06:39:14] yohgaki@php.net Derick, foreach() does not solve this bug. ZendEngine is resetting internal hash position by an assignment. Therefore, foreach() does does not work. i.e. The issue is _not_ "Not resetting hash posisiton", but "Incorrectly resetting RVALUE hash position by an assignment". This is serious flaw in language. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-23 06:01:49] derick@php.net Not a bug, but intended behavior. Use foreach(). Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-22 20:55:39] yohgaki@php.net BTW, I haven't check the exact behavior. Zend might be resetting internal hash position due to the assignment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-22 20:48:18] yohgaki@php.net I forgot about reset() since behavior is inconsistent :( Anyway, this is still not right. Zend engine is allocating new zval for $insidearray while it should allocate $placeholder. --- $placeholder = $insidearray; while(list(,$innerval) = each($insidearray)){ print "inloop $innerval for $outerval<br>"; --- This bug causes nasty bug in script. If it is not easy to fix, may be we should suspend this bug? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-22 20:29:04] hholzgra@php.net ever heard of reset() ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
