Description:
------------
I made a class which implements ArrayAccess. Then I try to use foreach on one of its array values and I get error "Objects used as arrays in post/pre increment/decrement must return values by reference"

I've reduced the big code fragment to this small one:

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
class foo implements ArrayAccess {
	protected $params;			
	public function offsetGet ($field) { return $this->params[$field]; }
	public function offsetExists ($field) { return isset ($this->params[$field]); }	
	public function offsetUnset ($field) { unset ($this->params[$field]); }
	public function offsetSet ($field, $value) { $this->params[$field] = $value; }	
}

$foo = new foo;
foreach ($foo['options'] as $optionvalue => $optiontext) {}


Expected result:
----------------
no errors

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Objects used as arrays in post/pre increment/decrement must return values by reference in ... on line 161

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

ArrayAccess is no Iterator 
 [2005-09-09 21:14 UTC] stochnagara at hotmail dot com
I do not agree with this explanation. I do not perform

foreach ($this as $k => $v) but foreach ($this['options'] as $k => $v)

Also i've tried with $this->params['options'] really set as an array and it does not work too.

My current workaround is 

$opt = $this['options'];
foreach ($opt as $k => $v)

I still consider this is a bug and if there are any technical difficulties for fixing it, I prefer to see bug status "Won't fix" rather then "Bogus".
