I have code that traps all errors in a multidimentional array. The array is structured so each row has a numerical key (ie $errors[] = array('err_code'=>12, 'err_file'=>'happy.php');). You get the idea. For error handling I have a function within a class that will accept an error array and do output based on it. The function is as follows:

function pass_err_row($errors, $default_val=NULL, $override_val=NULL) { // Throw errors based on err_file or default
	if (is_null($default_val)) {$default_val=PATH_TO_ROOT.LOC_ERROR."DEFAULT/errors.php";}
	if (!is_null($override_val)) {
		foreach($errors as $error_row) {
			include($override_val);
		}
	}
	else {
		foreach($errors as $error_row) {
			if ($error_row['handle_file']!==FALSE && $error_row['handle_file']!=="") {
				include($error_row['handle_file']);
			}
			else {
				include($default_val);
			}
		}
	}
}

This works great as long as the array passed has more than one error (each error being another array) in it. So if $errors[0] and $errors[1] both exist, everything works. Where it gets really wacky is if only $errors[0] exists then the foreach loops results in very strange results. Each error array row in $errors consists of the following 8 indexes:
'err_no', 'err_text', 'err_file', 'err_line', 'system_err', 'handle_file', 'handle_code', 'severity'.
What happens is the foreach loops 8 times with $error_row being equal not to the array in $errors[0] but being equal to an value in the sub array. So the first result would be the equivalent of $errors[0]['err_no']'s value. $errors is still an array, so why would the for each instead use the sub array? very weird.

Noticed the errors not in foreach, but in the pass. PHP kills the outer array if theres only one element in it in a pass. Thats still a bug.

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP,
please visit http://www.php.net/support.php

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

If you still think, that this is a bug, please minimalize your script, so that you can just reproduce the bug and then reopen the report.

Please take also into concideration, that the bug might already be fixed in a more current version of PHP.

Thank you.

print_r($data) results :

Array
(
[item] => Array
(
[stats] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Date] => 05/23/2007
[ProgID] => 12
[Info] => 12
)

[1] => Array
(
[Date] => 05/01/2006
[ProgID] => 21
[Info] => 11
)

I tried using :

foreach ($data['item']['stats'] as $x)
{
echo $x['ProgID'];
}

It works fine as long as stats array has more than 1 array, but if the structure is :

Array
(
[item] => Array
(
[stats] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Date] => 05/01/2006
[ProgID] => 12
[Info] => 12
)

Using same foreach loop, it shows wrong data.

Any ideas ?
