note 52795 added to language.variables.scope

This may have been covered in some other way, but I'm not certain. When you assign an array to a $GLOBALS member, and then assign a variable to that array, you somehow destroy the data inside of $GLOBALS, contrary to what you'd expect: $GLOBALS['foo'] = array ('bar' => 'frank'); print $GLOBALS['foo']['bar']; print "\n"; $foo = $GLOBALS['foo']['bar']; print "$foo\n"; print $GLOBALS['foo']['bar']; print "\n"; prints: frank frank f rather than "frank frank frank". I don't know how to fix this, so I'm just posting this so others know what to expect. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52795 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52795&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52795&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52795&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52795&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52795&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52795&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
