#23788 [NEW]: *_replace() clobbers referenced array elements

From: moriyoshi@php.net Operating system: any PHP version: 4.3.2RC4 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: *_replace() clobbers referenced array elements Here's a simple test case. --TEST-- --FILE-- <?php $numeric = 123; $bool = true; $foo = array(&$numeric, &$bool); var_dump($foo); str_replace("abc", "def", $foo); var_dump($foo); ?> --EXPECT-- array(2) { [0]=> &int(123) [1]=> &bool(true) } array(2) { [0]=> &int(123) [1]=> &bool(true) } While the actual output is array(2) { [0]=> &int(123) [1]=> &bool(true) } array(2) { [0]=> &string(3) "123" [1]=> &string(1) "1" } IMO this is not the intended behaviour, but also looks like a WFX issue. Note that the same applies to preg_replace() / ereg_replace(). -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23788&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23788&r=gnused
