Bug #35491 Nice missbehaviour using arrays in functions.

Description:
------------
The call of test() results into an endless loop. The first for() works well, the for() in the function is the problem.
And the Problem appears even if the first for() is left out.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?PHP
    

$arr = array ('a' => 1, 'c' => 2);    

for (reset ($arr); $key = key ($arr); next ($arr)) {   
   echo $key;   
}   

echo "PING";

function test() {
   global $arr;
   for (reset ($arr); $key = key ($arr); next ($arr)) {
      echo $key;
   }
}   
    
test();
  
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Output of "acPINGac"

Actual result:
--------------
Endless Loop

Output of "acPINGaaaaaaaaaaaaa ... to be continued"

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Reported a gazillion of times before.
Fixed long time ago.

I didn't found an equal bug description.

Not everybody describes a bug the same way, maybe that's the reason!

Not really ... but it doesn't really matter to me what you think.
