Description: ------------ When setting an a particular array element to the array itself, results are different when it's inside a function vs outside the function. Reproduce code: --------------- function func() { $a[1] = '1'; $a[0] = $a; var_dump($a); } func(); $a[1] = '1'; $a[0] = $a; var_dump($a); Expected result: ---------------- I'm not sure what to expect but at the vary least, the results should be consistent. Results were consistent in 5.2.1. array(2) { [1]=> string(1) "1" [0]=> array(1) { [1]=> string(1) "1" } } array(2) { [1]=> string(1) "1" [0]=> array(1) { [1]=> string(1) "1" } } Actual result: -------------- array(2) { [1]=> string(1) "1" [0]=> NULL } array(2) { [1]=> string(1) "1" [0]=> array(1) { [1]=> string(1) "1" } }
