Thank you! Can't wait to read the new section on array pointers. I had no idea that PHP's array were so sensitive to manipulation ;) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-21 22:14:19] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This behavior has been documented and will show up when the manual is next built, thanks for the report :) http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/en/reference/array/functions/each.xml Also, added "explanation of pointers" to the TODO as currently no section in the manual clearly explains the topic of array pointers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-10 02:17:11] [EMAIL PROTECTED] pong ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-10 02:05:00] jc at mega-bucks dot co dot jp Fine, it's a lack of documentation about some weird PHP behaviour :) (yes it *is* weird) Somebody please fix it. This bug keeps geeting closed and reopened and passed around. End the torment ^_~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-10 01:58:52] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This isn't a bug in anything but docs.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-10 00:53:04] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This makes no sense to me, why would assigning an array to another variable affect the original arrays pointer? Even the array it's assigned to keeps the original pointer: <?php $array = array('a','b','c'); print "1: " . current($array) . "\n"; // a print "2: " . next($array) . "\n"; // b $array2 = $array; print "3: " . current($array) . "\n"; // a print "4: " . current($array2). "\n"; // b ?> Either $array should also keep its pointer or $array2 should also have a reset pointer. I'd assume both would keep the current pointer, or maybe just $array2 would have a reset pointer :). Current behavior is certainly not documented, and are you guys sure this isn't a bug? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
