Description:
------------
The fix for https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80915 introduced a regression where phpinfo(INFO_VARIABLES) will emit an E_NOTICE reading:

> PHP Notice:  Array to string conversion …

This happens if array_walk() iterates over $_SERVER prior to phpinfo().

The regression was introduced in:
* PHP 8.0.5
* PHP 7.4.18

The commit that introduced the regression:
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/206fd35a98375522a53818ec4ef6e0585b1055dd

Test script:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", "On");

array_walk($_SERVER, function($value, $key) {
        // NOOP
});
phpinfo(INFO_VARIABLES);

Expected result:
----------------
In the output, no match for the following string:

"Notice:  Array to string conversion"

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Notice:  Array to string conversion in /tmp/php-bug/bug.php on line 8
PHP Stack trace:
PHP   1. {main}() /tmp/php-bug/bug.php:0
PHP   2. phpinfo($what = 32) /tmp/php-bug/bug.php:8
