In both PHP 4.0.2, 4.0.6 and 4.0.7RC1:

The following code crashes PHP:
<?php

function test($val,$key)
{
	global $globalArray;
	$globalArray[]=$key; // this will end up crashing
//	$globalArray[]=(string)$key; // this will end up OK
	print "val: $val; key: $key\n"; flush();
}

$arr=array('k'=>'v');
array_walk($arr,'test');

// This will crash:
print "First value: ".$globalArray[0];

// This will not crash, but give the wrong
// result, and the final "done" will never be
// printed:
// print "First value: "; print $globalArray[0];

print "\nDone\n";

?>
It doesn't matter if the code is run from PHP as an Apache module or command-line PHP.

Operating systems tested: RH Linux 6.1, RH Linux Rawhide (i.e. cutting-edge Red Hat developer-version).

A GDB back-trace on the latter, using command-line PHP:

Looks like it is fixed in CVS
 [2001-08-16 17:22 UTC] rasmus@php.net
Oops, never mind, it is not fixed in CVS.  It just morphed slightly.

On my machine, this will crash it: 

function test($val,$key) {
     global $globalArray;
     $globalArray[]=$key;
}

$arr=array('k'=>'v');
array_walk($arr,'test');
echo "testing".$globalArray[0];

Changing the last line to:

echo "test".$globalArray[0];

makes it work.  Uh?

Does this problem still occur with 4.1.1?
 [2002-01-27 05:19 UTC] sander@php.net
No feedback.

Hi sander,

I know this problem exists and this bug cannot be fixed easily....

Status = SUSPENDED

TO PHP USERS: *ONLY* change parameter passed! *Never* change array or array elements in walk funciton. 
 [2002-12-04 10:50 UTC] moriyoshi@php.net
This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, 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/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
