This probably needs some attention, here are some related issues that
I've came accross trying to find out why the above was happening:
Test 1: ($file holds last type conversion)
<?php
foreach (new DirectoryIterator('.') as $file) {
echo "\n--\n";
var_dump($file);
preg_match("/xxx/", $file);
var_dump($file);
echo "\n--";
}
Output:
Object(DirectoryIterator)#1 (0) {
}
string(1) "."
--
--
string(1) "."
string(1) "."
--
...
Test 2: (working example)
----------
<?php
$d = new DirectoryIterator('.');
foreach ($d as &$file) {
echo "\n--\n";
var_dump($file);
preg_match("/xxx/", $file);
var_dump($file);
echo "\n--";
}
Output:
--
object(DirectoryIterator)#1 (0) {
}
object(DirectoryIterator)#1 (0) {
}
--
--
object(DirectoryIterator)#1 (0) {
}
object(DirectoryIterator)#1 (0) {
}
--
...
Test 3: (completly fails)
----------
<?php
foreach (new DirectoryIterator('.') as &$file) {
echo "\n--\n";
var_dump($file);
preg_match("/xxx/", $file);
var_dump($file);
echo "\n--\n";
}
Output:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in test.php on line 2
This appears to be a definate bug somewhere and I cant spot it atm.

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
