Description:
------------
Array property don't make recursion when use reference to itself.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

class foo { }

$foo = new foo;
$foo->a = array();
$foo->a[] =& $foo->a;
var_dump($foo);

$foo->a = array();
$foo->a[] = $foo->a;
var_dump($foo);

$a = array();
$a[] = $a;
var_dump($a);

$a = array();
$a[] =& $a;
var_dump($a);


Expected result:
----------------
object(foo)#1 (1) {
  ["a"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    *RECURSION*
  }
}
object(foo)#1 (1) {
  ["a"]=>
  &array(1) {
    [0]=>
    &array(1) {
      [0]=>
      *RECURSION*
    }
  }
}
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    *RECURSION*
  }
}
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  &array(1) {
    [0]=>
    &array(1) {
      [0]=>
      *RECURSION*
    }
  }
}


Actual result:
--------------
object(foo)#1 (1) {
  ["a"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    array(0) {
    }
  }
}
object(foo)#1 (1) {
  ["a"]=>
  &array(1) {
    [0]=>
    &array(1) {
      [0]=>
      *RECURSION*
    }
  }
}
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    *RECURSION*
  }
}
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  &array(1) {
    [0]=>
    &array(1) {
      [0]=>
      *RECURSION*
    }
  }
}

Works fine for me.

PHP 5.2.1 (cli) (built: Feb  7 2007 23:11:26)

A bit different result:

object(foo)#1 (1) {
  ["a"]=>
  &array(1) {
    [0]=>
    &array(1) {
      [0]=>
      *RECURSION*
    }
  }
}
object(foo)#1 (1) {
  ["a"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    array(0) {
    }
  }
}
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    *RECURSION*
  }
}
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  &array(1) {
    [0]=>
    &array(1) {
      [0]=>
      *RECURSION*
    }
  }
}

And it leaks too:

Same result with all branches: HEAD/PHP_5_3/PHP_5_2
 [2008-02-15 00:05 UTC] jani@php.net 
This seems to be fixed for PHP 5.3, but it still happens with PHP 5.2 (latest CVS), can you check whether it's fixable? Maybe some patch wasn't MFH'd?
 [2008-02-15 00:07 UTC] jani@php.net 
Oh..I forgot the original problem, that still exists, just the leaks are gone now in PHP_5_3.
 [2008-02-15 07:00 UTC] dmitry@php.net 
I don't see where the problem is. It looks like both PHP_5_2 and PHP_5_3 work proper (except of memory leaks in PHP_5_2). Expectations for the second and third cases in original post are wrong.
 [2008-02-15 10:52 UTC] felipe@php.net 
Actual result (5_3):

object(foo)#1 (1) {
  ["a"]=>
  &array(1) {
    [0]=>
    &array(1) {
      [0]=>
      *RECURSION*
    }
  }
}
object(foo)#1 (1) {
  ["a"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    array(0) {
    }
  }
}
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(0) {
  }
}
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  &array(1) {
    [0]=>
    &array(1) {
      [0]=>
      *RECURSION*
    }
  }
}


It looks fixed! :)
