Description: ------------ When an inline assignment of array_expression is done right in foreach() statement, all further references to iterated array items seem to become their copies. I believe both PHP 5.6 and 7 are affected, yet still they behave differently. Tested on PHP 5.6.12, 5.6.16, 7.0.0, 7.0.1. Test script: --------------- <?php # source array $source = [ 'subarray' => ['item' => 'old value ---'] ]; # $ref1 is assigned to $source right in the foreach() foreach ( $ref1 = $source as &$subarray ) { $subarray['item'] = 'NEW value'; echo $subarray['item'], PHP_EOL; echo $ref1['subarray']['item'], PHP_EOL; } echo PHP_EOL; # $ref2 is assigned to $source normally, as a separate operation $ref2 = $source; foreach ( $ref2 as &$subarray ) { $subarray['item'] = 'NEW value'; echo $subarray['item'], PHP_EOL; echo $ref2['subarray']['item'], PHP_EOL; } echo PHP_EOL; ######################################## # similar to $source array, but implemented using a function function getSource() { return [ 'subarray' => ['item' => 'old value ---'] ]; } # $ref3 is assigned to result of getSource() right in the foreach() foreach ( $ref3 = getSource() as &$subarray ) { $subarray['item'] = 'NEW value'; echo $subarray['item'], PHP_EOL; echo $ref3['subarray']['item'], PHP_EOL; } echo PHP_EOL; # $ref4 is a "normal" reference to a result of getSource() $ref4 = getSource(); foreach ( $ref4 as &$subarray ) { $subarray['item'] = 'NEW value'; echo $subarray['item'], PHP_EOL; echo $ref3['subarray']['item'], PHP_EOL; } Expected result: ---------------- both PHP 5 and 7: NEW value NEW value NEW value NEW value NEW value NEW value NEW value NEW value Actual result: -------------- PHP 7: NEW value old value --- NEW value NEW value NEW value old value --- NEW value old value --- PHP 5: NEW value old value --- NEW value NEW value NEW value NEW value NEW value NEW value
