Description:
------------
foreach($blah as &$value) works, where $blah is an array

foreach(array(blah..) as &$value) does not

Reproduce code:
---------------
php > $test_array = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7);
php > foreach($test_array as &$value)
php > {
php {    echo $value;
php { }
1234567
php > foreach(array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7) as &$value)
php > {
php {    echo $value;
php { }

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in php shell code on line 1


Expected result:
----------------
123456 for both runs

Actual result:
--------------
1234567

and then 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in php shell code on line 1

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

You can only make references to variables... not static values so there is nothing wrong with this behavior.
