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

Using key/next/prev/etc. in foreach() is unsupported. (foreach does an internal reset() in it too!) 

And using key() in foreach is pretty useless since it provides that with syntax foreach($arr as $key => $val)
