Is it documented? I didn't find this in the manual, probably this is a
documentation problem.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This is a feature.

Description:

In this script seems that the $GLOBALS value is changed by the unset
statement but I want to modify $ar, $GLOBALS must remain the same as
before.


Reproduce code:
---
?
$xml=array(aaa, bbb, ccc);
foo();

function foo() {
var_dump($GLOBALS[xml]);
$ar=$GLOBALS;
unset($ar['xml']);
var_dump($GLOBALS[xml]);
}
?

Expected result:

array(3) {
  [0]=
  string(3) aaa
  [1]=
  string(3) bbb
  [2]=
  string(3) ccc
}
array(3) {
  [0]=
  string(3) aaa
  [1]=
  string(3) bbb
  [2]=
  string(3) ccc
}


Actual result:
--
array(3) {
  [0]=
  string(3) aaa
  [1]=
  string(3) bbb
  [2]=
  string(3) ccc
}
NULL

I see the manual page but I don't see anywhere that I cannot COPY
$GLOBALS content to an other variable.

read the section on $GLOBALS

BTW:
Even if I try to use array_diff_assoc to have a COPY of $GLOBALS the
script gives me the same result.
I thing this is a very big problem without a array_copy function.

I tried:
?
$xml=array(aaa, bbb, ccc);
foo();

function foo() {
var_dump($GLOBALS[xml]);
$ar=array_diff_assoc($GLOBALS, array());
unset($ar['xml']);
var_dump($GLOBALS[xml]);
}
?

I'm not asking support, I'm saying that this behaviour isn't written in
the documentation and this is a problem!

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
