I Agree, it would be usefull, it there any way in which you can force
it to pass by reference as it is?

It would be very useful (at least for me) if the fonction foreach
support references. For example the code :
<?
class Foo
{ var $Ok=false;
function EchoOk()
{ if ($this->Ok)
echo "OK<br>\n";
else
echo "KO<br>\n";
}
}
$Bar=array();
$Bar[]=new Foo;
foreach($Bar as $v)
$v->SetOk();
foreach($Bar as $v)
$v->EchoOk();
?>
will produce the output :
KO<br>
I know I can replace the first loop by :
foreach($Bar as $k => $v)
$Bar[$k]->SetOk();
but, in this case, the $v is useless.
I suggest to accept the notation
foreach($Arr as &$RefVal)
and
foreach($Arr as $Key => &$RefVal)
in a future PHP release to make $RefVal a reference on each $Arr
elements (and not a copy).
