#35084 [NEW]: when using reference to array, then current() returns always first element

From: margus at zone dot ee Operating system: 4.4.1 PHP version: 4.4.1 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: when using reference to array, then current() returns always first element Description: ------------ I have reference to array and iterating through the array using current()/next() loop The problem is, that $element = current($arr_ref) returns always the first element in array regardless of multiple next($arr_ref) calls before current(...) ----- It worked in php4.4.0. At the moment the only workaround is to replace everywhere in code: $element = current ($arr_ref) to $element = current(& $arr_ref); Reproduce code: --------------- $a = array('foot', 'bike'); reset ($a); next($a); echo "A:" . current ($a) . "<BR>"; $b =& $a; reset ($b); next($b); echo "B:" . current ($b) . "<BR>"; Expected result: ---------------- A:bike B:bike Actual result: -------------- A:bike B:foot -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35084&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35084&r=mysqlcfg
