Description:
------------
The last foreach seems to corrupt $rows_unsorted. The last var_dump() in the log reports false.

Reproduce code:
---------------
    $rows_unsorted = array();
    for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++)
    {
        array_push($rows_unsorted, array("apa" . $i));
    }

    $rows_index = array();
    foreach ($rows_unsorted as $k => &$row)
    {
        array_push($rows_index, sprintf("%03d_%d", strlen($row[0]), $k));
    }

    for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++)
    {
        var_dump($rows_unsorted[$i]);
    }

    foreach ($rows_index as $idx)
    {
        list ($len, $rowOffs) = split('_', $idx);
        $row = false;
        $row = $rows_unsorted[0 + $rowOffs];

        var_dump($row);
    }

Expected result:
----------------
I was expecting all values in $rows_unsorted to have been dumped.

Sorry, forgot: If I change &$row to $row in the first foreach all works as I expect it to.

Sorry, but 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 as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
