Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71458&edit=1 ID: 71458 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: requinix@php.net Summary: foreach docs should expand upon the references warning -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: Scripting Engine problem PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: In my opinion, neither automatically deferencing the loop variable before nor after the loop would fit to PHP's *function* scope of local variables. However, feel free to file a (separate) feature request.

This can break existing code - reference to last array item may be expected. But is it possible to deref foreach $value at the START of foreach? I think it should work fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-05-30 20:44:13] requinix@php.net Related To: Bug #72292 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-02-22 19:07:28] requinix@php.net Related To: Bug #71644 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-02-09 08:58:13] requinix@php.net Related To: Bug #71557 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
