ID: 63752 Updated by: larue...@php.net Reported by: terrafr...@php.net Summary: foreach increments pointer used by current() once -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Arrays related Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 5.4.9 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: 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 1. at the beginning of foreach: ZEND_FE_RESET which will increase the refoucnt of $a 2. then FE_FETCH, which will increase internal pointer of $a 3. then current, current declared to accept a reference, but $a is not a ref and refcount > 1 , then -> separation hope I made it clear. thanks Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-12 15:06:01] terrafr...@php.net Description: ------------ foreach seems to increment the pointer used by current() once even if foreach loops multiple times. Seems to me that it should not increment it at all or increment it multiple times. Not once and that's it. Test script: --------------- <?php $a = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); foreach ($a as $key => $elem) { echo "$key = $elem"; echo ' = '; var_dump(current($a)); } ?> Expected result: ---------------- 0 = 1 = int(1) 1 = 2 = int(1) 2 = 3 = int(1) 3 = 4 = int(1) 4 = 5 = int(1) Actual result: -------------- 0 = 1 = int(2) 1 = 2 = int(2) 2 = 3 = int(2) 3 = 4 = int(2) 4 = 5 = int(2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63752&edit=1
