Bug description: foreach strange behaviour
Description:
------------
foreach seems to run in different ways when called globally and from a
function. As it can be understood from the documentation, foreach
shouldn't touch an original array and operate with its copy instead. But
at least, one could expect its behaviour to be similar for the 2 cases
described in code.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$array = array(1, 2);
function test() {
global $array;
foreach ($array as $a) foreach ($array as $b) echo "$a $b\n";
}
foreach ($array as $a) foreach ($array as $b) echo "$a $b\n";
echo "---\n";
test();
Expected result:
----------------
1 1
1 2
2 1
2 2
---
1 1
1 2
2 1
2 2
Actual result:
--------------
1 1
1 2
2 1
2 2
