Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/control-structures.foreach
---
The following note is missing from the EN docs:
"Unless the array is referenced, foreach operates on a copy of the specified array and not the array itself. foreach has some side effects on the array pointer. Don't rely on the array pointer during or after the foreach without resetting it."

Yet it is present on the Serbian docs: http://php.net/manual/sr/control-structures.foreach.php

Is this still the behaviour of foreach? It seems to be.

It is highly likely that Serbian documentation hasn't been updated for a while. The behavior you're describing is the "default" and is valid. To learn more about how foreach works, consult this answer by nikic@php.net: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14854568/424004

We will update the English documentation if it's missing some key notes.

The Serbian translation is marked as inactive since 2011[1];
therefore it is not available from the language chooser select
element.

Inactive translations are typically grossly out-dated, and should
be read with an eye on the English original (if at all). Reporting
bugs regarding out-dated man pages is not really useful, as there
are tools which easily allow to see which pages are not
up-to-date[2].
