It already contains this:

"This is possible only if iterated array can be referenced (i.e. is 
variable)."

Do you feel this is unclear? Maybe cleaning up the grammar here is the

answer?

Description:
------------
In php-doc/html/control-structures.foreach.html
be sure to please mention that you can do

$arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
foreach ($arr as &$value) {
    $value = $value * 2;
}

and

foreach (array(1, 2, 3, 4) as $value) {
    $value = $value * 2;
}

but not

foreach (array(1, 2, 3, 4) as &$value) {
    $value = $value * 2;
}

!
