Bug #11541 Updated: weird behaviour with references and foreach

ID: 11541 User Update by: jens.dreger@physik.fu-berlin.de Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating system: Linux Redhat 6.2 PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Description: weird behaviour with references and foreach well, maybe this behaviour is not so weird as I tought... the problem I had, was that the line taking the reference and the foreach-statement were far apart, and I'd really like to have localized variables in the foreach, like foreach($arr as (my $val))...
