Description:
------------
i use just build i downloaded from site (5.2.1) no exts, no optimizers.
it seem the $a,$b keep same internal pointer, this is quite serious error cos $b=$a should create separate array copy and it does but without the inner pointer.
if you replace $b=$a with $b=array(1,2,3); it works as expected

this was reported and ignored by someone on solaris before as well-- #40608


Reproduce code:
---------------
$a=array(1,2,3);
$b=$a;
	
foreach($a as $A)
{
     foreach($b as $B)
      {
	echo "$A,$B\n";
	break;
      }
}

Expected result:
----------------
1,1
2,1
3,1

Actual result:
--------------
1,1
2,1
3,1
2,1
3,1
2,1
3,1

wonder if someone can check this on linux build if its win issue.

me again,
i just tried latest snapshot and it works fine there so i guess new snapshot should be released as i walked around some other strange things in that current 5.2.1.

Found this bug when looking at issue on PHP bug #40608.

Tested this example against the 5.2 snapshot (php5.2-win32-200703191630.zip) from php.net, and it works properly.  So, looks like it has been fixed on the 5.2 branch after 5.2.1 was released.

A quick fix for those that can't update, is to access the key in the inner loop:

$a=array(1,2,3);
$b=$a;

foreach($a as $A)
{
     foreach($b as $B)
      {
        key($b);
        echo "$A,$B\n";
        break;
      }
}
