From: ltaupiac at lfdj dot com Operating system: windows/solaris PHP version: 5.2.4 PHP Bug Type: Arrays related Bug description: array_walk_recursive() leaves references
Description: ------------ I have to reopen this bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42655 because it was incorrectly closed and tony2001 doesn't seem to receive email. Here Copy/paste email i send him. This is not the same bug. In #34982, an array is modified outside the function func() that call array_walk_recursive. This bug doesn't exist anymore in 5.2.4 The bug i report is when calling array_walk_recursive on an array (callback function doesn't even have reference & for array input and does nothing). Original array shouldn't be modified, but if you var_dump it, you can see reference on subarray [0]=> &array(1) instead of [0]=> array(1) The array shouldn't have been modified but array_walk_recursive leaves references. This can cause trouble, eg you cant duplicate the original array anymore. Look at following example $data = array ('key1' => 'val1', array('key2' => 'val2')); function foo($item, $key) {}; // dumb callback function var_dump($data); array_walk_recursive($data, 'foo'); $data2 = $data; // Duplicate array $data2[0] = 'altered'; // Alter copy var_dump($data); var_dump($data2); array(2) { ["key1"]=> string(4) "val1" [0]=> &string(5) "bingo" } array(2) { ["key1"]=> string(4) "val1" [0]=> &string(5) "bingo" } both $data and $data2 are altered; Reproduce code: --------------- $data = array ('key1' => 'val1', array('key2' => 'val2')); function dumb($i, $k){} var_dump($data); array_walk_recursive($data,'foo'); // Double check the [0]=>&array(1) in actual result var_dump($data); Expected result: ---------------- Expected result: ---------------- array(2) { ["key1"]=> string(4) "val1" [0]=> array(1) { ["key2"]=> string(4) "val2" } } array(2) { ["key1"]=> string(4) "val1" [0]=> array(1) { ["key2"]=> string(4) "val2" } } Actual result: -------------- Actual result: -------------- array(2) { ["key1"]=> string(4) "val1" [0]=> array(1) { ["key2"]=> string(4) "val2" } } array(2) { ["key1"]=> string(4) "val1" [0]=> &array(1) { ["key2"]=> string(4) "val2" } } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42850&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42850&r=mysqlcfg
