It looks like after by-reference iteration changes array not only isnide foreach statement, but array remains changed even after iteration. Test script: --------------- <?php $a = array(1,2,3,4); function myf($a,$k){ $a[$k] = 9; } foreach ($a as $k => &$v) { myf($a, $k); } //myf($a, 3); var_dump($a); die(); Expected result: ---------------- array 0 => int 1 1 => int 2 2 => int 3 3 => int 4 Actual result: -------------- array 0 => int 9 1 => int 9 2 => int 9 3 => &int 9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54408&edit=1
