Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.
See bug #20993 (where you seem to have got the example too..)

Wrong test, this was the one:
<?php
function theFunction($arg) {
$arg[0] = 2;
}
// Reference on array index
$arr1 = array (1);
$reference1 =& $arr1[0];
var_dump($reference1);
var_dump($arr1);
theFunction($arr1);
var_dump($reference1);
var_dump($arr1);
echo "--------\n";
// Reference on array
$arr2 = array (1);
$reference2 =& $arr2;
var_dump($reference2);
var_dump($arr2);
theFunction($arr2);
var_dump($reference2);
var_dump($arr2);
?>

Description:
------------
There appears to be a problem with php that doesn't allow arrays to be
passed by value. The fix appears to be something similar to:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=6417
if (PZVAL_IS_REF(*p))
{
SEPARATE_ZVAL(p);
} else {
zval_add_ref(p);
}
It would appear that that logic is missing in one place or another. I
could not track it down myself. Code similar to this appears to be
copy/pasted in various places.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$array = array(1);
// This line makes the call to theFunction() act as if passed by ref.?
$reference =& $array[0];
echo $array[0], '<br>';
theFunction($array);
echo $array[0], '<br>';
function theFunction($array) {
$array[0] = 2;
}
Expected result:
----------------
you should get 1 and 1
Actual result:
--------------
instead you get 1 and 2!
