Description:
------------
I wrote an OOP PHP class to interact with an Shipping estimate API.  I setup a logging system to help log & track any issues during testing.

The goal was to have this logging system remove certain index keys for both 'objects' and 'arrays' in a recursive manor.

I believe that the passed-reference (variable using with an ampersand or what I call a 'live link') is being 'pushed' up.

When I check the logged xml (in the example) it often read 'omitted'.  The variable was being changed even though the original call to function wasn't done using a passed-reference.

The function would work correctly with the corrected code or the log_xml calls completed first.  Maybe using $v is what broke the pass reference and it was just a 'copy' after that.

Test script:

FROM (corrected):
			if(@in_array($k,$exclude_keys,true)){
				if($_type=='object'){
					if(!basic_check($omit_str)){unset($obj->{$k});}
					else{$obj->{$k}=$omit_str;}
				}else if($_type=='array'){
					if(!basic_check($omit_str)){unset($obj[$k]);}
					else{$obj[$k]=$omit_str;}
				}
			}else{
				if(gettype($v)=='object' && ($v instanceof Traversable)){//
					log_clean($obj->{$k},$exclude_keys,$omit_str);}
				else if(gettype($v)=='array'){
					log_clean($obj[$k],$exclude_keys,$omit_str);}
			}
	
TO (shortened):
			if(@in_array($k,$exclude_keys,true)){
				if(!basic_check($omit_str)){unset($v);}
				else{$v=$omit_str;}
			}else{
				log_clean($v,$exclude_keys,$omit_str);
			}


I changed using $obj[$k] ( and $obj->{$k} [sorry for the syntax error]) to just using $v in the function log_clean().  This is my first bug report.  Sorry if I don't have the format correct.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

To clarify: we do not need a script that works, but rather a script that allows us to reproduce the bug – ideally by simply executing this script, what implies that the script is self-contained.
