note 44875 added to control-structures.foreach

as a followup, you can get around this "feature" by immediately repeating an assignment, that will pull from addressable $arr that you are modifying: <?php $arr = array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', ''); # notice that the 5th value has to be defined foreach ($arr as $k=>$v) { $v = $arr[$k]; # <== this reassigns from addressible memory echo "$v\n"; if ($v == 'b') $arr[4] = 'e'; if ($v == 'e') echo "found e\n"; }// foreach echo '..done..' ?> notice that I had to make sure that $arr[4] would be defined so that the loop would execute (by modifying the $arr assignment)....meaning, you still can't change how many times the loop executes by doing an assignment inside the loop, but at least you can reference changed values. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+44875 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+44875&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+44875&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
