Description: ------------ foreach() is supposed to work on a copy of the iternal iterator. However, manipulating the iterator inside the foreach loop leads to very strange results. -> Also try to print the result of current() inside the foreach loop in the 3 use cases provided. You'll see that the iterator is some kind of manipulated by foreach Test script: --------------- $a = range('a','d'); foreach ($a as $v) { } var_dump(current($a)); $a = range('a','d'); foreach ($a as $v) { current($a); } var_dump(current($a)); $a = range('a','d'); foreach ($a as &$v) { current($a); } var_dump(current($a)); Expected result: ---------------- 'a' 'a' 'a' Actual result: -------------- false 'b' false -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53405&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53405&r=mysqlcfg
