Summary: Foreach creates a copy of the array passed by value
in function
Status: Open
Type: Bug

Operating System: Arch Linux

New Comment:
The foreach loop changes the internal array pointer. If the array zval wouldn't
be separated the loop thus would thus affect he array which was passed by
value, which is obviously not acceptable.
