 New Comment:

foreach essentially REMOVES the array pointer alltogether on the
original array.

$arr = array('a','b'); foreach ($arr as $v); var_dump( current($arr)
);
$arr = array('a','b'); foreach ($arr as $v); reset($arr); var_dump(
current($arr) );

Results:
bool(false)
string(1) "a"

Using key() instead of current() results in NULL instead of false. 
Where did the pointer go?

Conclusion:
Either foreach() has a feature that removes the array pointer from the
original array or it's a bug.  If it's seen as a feature please explain
why so it can be documented.

try 1.:

$var[] = "1";
$var[] = "2";

foreach($var as $test)
{
echo $test;
}
reset($var); 
echo current($var);

output -> 12

then try:
$var[] = "1";
$var[] = "2";

//reset($var);
foreach($var as $test)
{
echo $test;
current($var);
}
echo current($var);

output -> 121

this should be the output of the first script too?
