Strange bug, array returning different result after foreach on another var
#1

[eluser]Costa Rica SEO[/eluser]
Ok, I'm closure compiling a group of JS files when I update my libraries. It worked fine until I added another file. Instead of seeing files A, B, and C, I see A, B, B. I used FirePHP to log out where my array was changing and to my surprise it was after a foreach on a completely unrelated variable. Like magic the array (that I didn't even touch) changes.

The original code (minus comments) was:
Code:
if(!empty($packages)){
            /* $this->data['external_js'] is normal */
            foreach($packages as $item){
                /* $this->data['external_js'] has changed */

I put logging in to see where the var changes, and you can see it below.
from: http://pastie.org/2647844

Code:
/*
* PHP 5.3.3 and 5.3.8 (Upgraded after finding this bug, still not working)
*
* fb_log() logs variables to FirePHP
*
* Problem: Building a list of JS to package in to one file. Missing one file, but getting two copies of another
* Test 1: Log the variable ($this->data['external_js']) and see where it's changing
* Result: Test one showed that $this->data['external_js']; was changing after the line foreach($packages as $item) immediately below it
* Test 2: Copy $this->data['external_js'] to $ext_js_for_firephp, which is not used anywhere else in the program
* Result: Both $ext_js_for_firephp and $this->data['external_js'] return altered
*
* Any Ideas?  @gmail I'm paul.dillinger

/* SECTION OF CODE WHERE PROBLEM IS */

        if(!empty($packages)){
            if($type=='js'){
                $ext_js_for_firephp = $this->data['external_js'];
                fb_log('$ext_js_for_firephp before', $ext_js_for_firephp);
            }

            foreach($packages as $item){
                if($type=='js'){
                    fb_log('$ext_js_for_firephp after', $ext_js_for_firephp);
                }

/* RESULT */

Any ideas are appreciated...
