Description:
------------
Values returned by ArrayAccess::offsetGet() cannot be used as a search key in a call to array_key_exists(). It looks like for some reason the scripting engine requires that the first argument of array_key_exists() is writable, which conflicts with the documented prototype of array_key_exists().

The sample code works fine with PHP 5.1.4 so it is a problem introduced in PHP 5.2.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class array_obj implements ArrayAccess
{
	public function offsetExists ($index) {return (true);}

	public function offsetGet ($index) {return (5);}

	public function offsetSet ($index, $value) {}

	public function offsetUnset ($index) {}
}

$obj = new array_obj ();
array_key_exists ($obj [0], array ("a", "b", "c"));
?>


Expected result:
----------------
The program should terminate with no output at all.

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Objects used as arrays in post/pre increment/decrement must return values by reference in /archive/error.php on line 14

Yeah, you're right it works fine in 5.1.4, but new arginfo causes this in 5.2.
Hannes, are you sure arginfo for array_key_exists() is correct? I don't see any reasons to use references there, though.

This patch fixes it for me:

Yes, array_key_exists() should _prefer_ references for 
performance reasons (see bug #37563).
For what ever reason the engine however ignores 
the "prefer" part..

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Ilia reverted the patch for bug #37563
