From: mo at nevali dot net Operating system: FreeBSD 6 PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Arrays related Bug description: References to references triggers unwanted further references
Description: ------------ Some circumstances involving deep references into arrays can cause assignment of those arrays to always assign references instead of values. Reproduce code: --------------- Please see http://nevali.net/docs/array-refs-testcase.phps Expected result: ---------------- The code should produce the following output: Created foo, foo->thing['stuff'] = 1234 Creating Bar, foo->thing['stuff'] = 1234 Created bar, bar->thing2['stuff'] = ABC Created bar, foo->thing['stuff'] = 1234 Actual result: -------------- Created foo, foo->thing['stuff'] = 1234 Creating Bar, foo->thing['stuff'] = 1234 Created bar, bar->thing2['stuff'] = ABC Created bar, foo->thing['stuff'] = ABC If the (marked) line in Foo's constructor: $this->stuff =& $this->thing['stuff']; is removed, the output is as expected, even though this code should be inert (Foo::stuff is not referenced from anywhere else in the test code). -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44658&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44658&r=mysqlcfg
