foreach and current()

Hi all! Has it been always the way, that it is not possible to use current() in a foreach loop? Just stumbled upon (using php 5.5.5): $arr = array( "a", "b", "c" ); foreach( $arr as $entry ) { #var_dump( current($arr) ); } var_dump( current($arr) ); Which yields "false", because the internal array pointer points behind the last element of $arr. If I uncomment the inner var_dump(), the script outputs "b" four times. This seems odd... I know that the documentation advises not to fiddle with the internal array pointer in a foreach loop, but current() should not affect it in any way and therefor should be safe to use. Does anyone know what the reasoning behind this behavious is? Greetings Nico
