Bug description: You cannot assign recursive array references.
Description:
------------
It does not seem possible to reduce the following two statements into a
single statement.
<?
$in=array(1=>'a', 2=>'b', 3=>array('aa', 'bb'));
$in[3]['cc']=&$in[3];
?>
I would suspect that this is the same or similar issue that causes the
following statement to fail:
<?
var_export($in);
?>
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$in=array(1=>'a', 2=>'b', 3=>array('aa', 'bb'));
$in[3]['cc']=&$in[3];
var_export($in);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
array(
1 => 'a',
2 => 'b',
3 => array(
0 => 'aa',
1 => 'bb',
'cc' => &$this->3,
)
);
/* Note: as I've said before, there doesn't seem to be a method to refer
to an element within the array being created at assignment time, I've used
object syntax instead */
Actual result:
--------------
array (
1 => 'a',
2 => 'b',
3 =>
array (
0 => 'aa',
1 => 'bb',
'cc' =>
array (
0 => 'aa',
1 => 'bb',
'cc' =>
array (
0 => 'aa',
1 => 'bb',
'cc' =>
array (
