Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] SimpleXML bug
From: sterling@bumblebury.com (Sterling Hughes)

Zeev seems to be working on foreach and simplexml, but the above
behaviour is the correct one.  Why should the first loop?  If I did:

<?php
foreach ("hello" as $world) {
	var_dump($world);
}
?>

what would i get?

If a 6600 used paper tape instead of core memory, it would use up tape 
at about 30 miles/second.
