Nesting 'foreach ()'

according to the online refernce foreach() doesn't change the array pointer. However the following code: $fred = array(1,2,3,4,5,6); foreach ($fred as $fred1) { foreach ($fred as $fred2) echo "$fred1 : $fred2<br>"; }; returns: 1 : 1 1 : 2 1 : 3 1 : 4 1 : 5 1 : 6 and stops there, implying that the second foreach() is interfering with the first. I've got around this in my actual case by creating two arrays and adding to the second as well as the first, but this won't always be as convenient. Is this a known bug or is the manual wrong? ... by the way $fred = array(1,2,3,4,5,6); $fred2 = $fred; foreach ($fred as $fred1) { foreach ($fred2 as $fred2) echo "$fred1 : $fred2<br>"; }; ... doesn't work either which would normally imply that $fred2 is a pointer to $fred rather than a copy.
