[php at darkk dot net dot ru]

From:             php at darkk dot net dot ru
Operating system: Linux, FreeBSD
PHP version:      5.2.6
PHP Bug Type:     Scripting Engine problem
Bug description:  $foo = $foo does not work in some cases

Description:
------------
Converting from string to array using
$name['foobar'] = $name
does not work in some cases.

Reproduce code:
---------------
first:

function foobar($name) {
  $name['anything'] = $name; 
  var_dump($name); 
}
foobar("foobar");'


second:

$name = "foobar";
$name['anything'] = $name;
var_dump($name);

Expected result:
----------------
in both cases I expect to see:
array(1) {
  ["anything"]=>
  string(6) "foobar"
}


Actual result:
--------------
first:
string(6) "oobar"

second:
string(6) "foobar"
