[Sorry, Grammar Error.]When trying to get [an] element of reference inside an
array, php always returns a
copy of that variable being referred. See the comment of Test Script.

When trying to get a element of reference inside an array, php always returns a
copy of that variable being referred. See the comment of Test Script.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$Item = array ('foo' => 'bar');
$Array = array (&$Item);
$rItem = $Array[0]; //$rItem is expected to be a reference, but it doesn't.
$rItem['foo'] = 'foobar';
echo $Item['foo'];
Expected result:
----------------
foobar
Actual result:
--------------
bar
