Description: ------------ if we iterate over $_GET using references (see the example) and pass $_GET to a function, function modifies $_GET and not the local copy. For example, save the example code in test.php and open test.php?mykey=foo . Reproduce code: --------------- <?php function doit($http_get_params) { $http_get_params['mykey'] = 'bar'; echo '<br/>'.$_GET['mykey']; } foreach($_GET as $key => &$value) {} echo '<br/>'.$_GET['mykey']; doit($_GET); echo '<br/>'.$_GET['mykey']; ?> Expected result: ---------------- When we open test.php?mykey=foo I expect to see foo foo foo Actual result: -------------- When we open test.php?mykey=foo we actually see foo bar bar -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39011&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39011&r=mysqlcfg
