#27923 [Opn->Fbk]: foreach() with references broken when iterating only over value

ID: 27923 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: adam at trachtenberg dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-04-08 (dev) New Comment: your example doesn't have any references in it..? (and it works fine when I replace the last ) with } :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-08 15:20:44] adam at trachtenberg dot com Description: ------------ In PHP 5, foreach() allows you to iterate over values by reference. This does not work when you do foreach($array as $value) instead of foreach($array as $key => $value). I believe this patch fixes the problem, but someone should *really* double check it. :) http://www.trachtenberg.com/patches/ foreach_by_reference.txt Reproduce code: --------------- php -r '$array = array(); foreach($array as $value) {)' Expected result: ---------------- Nothing. Actual result: -------------- PHP Fatal error: Key element cannot be a reference in Command line code on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27923&edit=1
