Description:
------------
Should you need to nullify an object created on the fly in the scope of
a (for lack of general term) loop when adding those objects to an array?
 

foreach and while were tested. I tested even objects that I defined
with the class keyword and when the object was instantiated outside of
the loop the values that printed where the same at each index.

I'm of the mind that this is how objects work since they're really
pointers to a memory address, but then why would the address assigment
operator ( &= ) be usefull with objects in cases like this?


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$array = array("one" => 1, "two" => 2, "three" => 3);


foreach($array as $key => $value){


        $MyObject->key = $key;
        $MyObject->value = $value;
        $free[] = $MyObject;
        
        //unless I uncomment the next line there are issues
        //$MyObject= null;
}

echo "<pre>";
print_r($free);
echo "</pre>";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [key] => one
            [value] => 1
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [key] => two
            [value] => 2
        )

    [2] => stdClass Object
        (
            [key] => three
            [value] => 3
        )

)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [key] => three
            [value] => 3
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [key] => three
            [value] => 3
        )

    [2] => stdClass Object
        (
            [key] => three
            [value] => 3
        )

)
