No news? This bug is affecting many script and I haven't a workaround. Is's a critical bug. Thanks Andrea Busia Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-26 12:55:36] andrea dot busia at axis-sv dot it Because for a mistake "Actual result" had to be "Expected result" and "Expected result" had to be "Actual result". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-26 12:52:10] andrea dot busia at axis-sv dot it Description: ------------ First problem: If I Create an array setting an element to a string and another element as a reference to the first, then copy the array into an other variable, if i modify the second variable also the original array is modified. Second problem: why the second code line ($a[0]="foo";) produces [0]=> &string(3) "foo" instead of [0]=> string(3) "foo" Thanks Andrea Busia Reproduce code: --------------- <? $a=array(); $a[0]="foo"; $a[1] =& $a[0]; var_dump($a); $b=$a; $b[0]="bar"; var_dump($a); ?> Expected result: ---------------- array(2) { [0]=> string(3) "foo" [1]=> &string(3) "foo" } array(2) { [0]=> string(3) "foo" [1]=> &string(3) "foo" } Actual result: -------------- array(2) { [0]=> &string(3) "foo" [1]=> &string(3) "foo" } array(2) { [0]=> &string(3) "bar" [1]=> &string(3) "bar" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37917&edit=1
