#31251 [Opn->Bgs]: Bad problems with backported foreach() patch

ID: 31251 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: giovanni at giacobbi dot net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.10 New Comment: Do not file bugs when you have Zend extensions (zend_extension=) loaded. Examples are Zend Optimizer, Zend Debugger, Turck MM Cache, APC, Xdebug and ionCube loader. These extensions often modify engine behavior which is not related to PHP itself.

The foreach() patch backported from PHP5 broke down many sites that I run and which use proprietary optimizers. You should definitely remember what "stable" and "production" words mean, and keep fun for PHP5. P.S.: The bug is indeed in the optimizer, but this doesn't allow you to make these kind of changes. Reproduce code: --------------- this is just explanative, the bug can be shown only with the proprietary optimizer. $a = array(array("a", "b"), array("a", "b")); foreach ($a as $ax) { var_dump($a); } Expected result: ---------------- obvious. Actual result: -------------- scratched array. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31251&edit=1
