Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #5270: Nested foreach() using a copy of the same array does not work properly.

I´d posted a similar bug (the same bug(?)) before, but I could not find that damn bug report again, you don´t need to copy $test, it works (bugs) too if both statements work on $test... summary: php seems to go wrong too if it´s the same variable danbeck@dealnews.com wrote:

Bug description: Nested foreach() using a copy of the same array does not work properly. The following code does not work properly. $test = $test2 = array (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9); foreach($test as $a) { foreach($test2 as $b) { echo "$a : $b\n"; } } The first foreach() only happens once. I understand that foreach() will reset the array pointer but why does using the copy also seem to do the same thing to the original array? Shouldn't a copy be just that.. a copy? It seems that it's more of a reference than anything.
