Description:
------------
If we try to change the array elements in one foreach loop using referenced
$value, and in a second foreach loop remove some elements from the array, then
the resulting array misses some element, some elements are duplicated, or
simply
nothing is removed, depending on that, which element we want to remove from the
array in the second loop.
Test script:
---------------
$a=array(array('a'=>'11', 'aa'=>'22'), array('a'=>'33', 'aa'=>'44'),
array('a'=>'55', 'aa'=>'66'));
foreach ($a as &$v) // if we use $k=>$v here
{
$v['c']='99'; // and $a[$k]['c']='99' here, then it produces the
expected result
}
foreach ($a as $k=>$v)
{
if ($v['aa']=='22')
{
unset($a[$k]); //
}
}
print_r($a);
Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[a] => 33
[aa] => 44
[c] => 99
)
[2] => Array
(
[a] => 33
[aa] => 44
[c] => 99
)
)
Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[a] => 33
[aa] => 44
[c] => 99
)
[2] => Array
(
[a] => 55
[aa] => 66
[c] => 99
)
)
