From: faisal <email protected>
Operating system: Windows/Linux RH6
PHP version: 4.0 Beta 3
PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function
Bug description: Problem with copying arrays....

[Posted to PHP4BETA list too]

Example: (as I stated)

<?
  class myclass
  {
    var $MYARRAY;

    function myclass ()
    {
      $this->MYARRAY[] = "faisal";
      $this->MYARRAY[] = "nasim";
    }
    function test ()
    {
      $x = $this -> MYARRAY; # I want a copy!
      unset ( $x[0] );
    }
  }
  $test = new myclass;
  print count ( $test -> MYARRAY ) . "<BR>"; # 2
  $test -> test ();
  print count ( $test -> MYARRAY ) . "<BR>"; # 1 !!
?>

The second returns 1 which is incorrect, since I never referenced the array, i wanted the copy instead!

Here is a test case submitted by Mr. Zeev, in reply to the message:

:

$foo[] = 1;
$foo[] = 2;
$bar = $foo;
unset($foo[0]);
print count($foo)."\n";
print count($bar)."\n";

I thought it was a problem with arrays with classes, but it turned out to be a buggy bug in the array structure....

Hope you'll nab this one (and quick!) ;)

Thank you.

There is no field for name in your form, I wonder if you need it! If you do, its Faisal.
