able to step through the loop and watch this happening, element by
element.
Are you are using a 'referencing' foreach? i.e.
foreach ($objs as &$obj) {
do_some_stuff($obj);
}
or is the above code a direct lift from your script?
Referencing foreach statements can cause problems as the reference to
the last array entry is persistent after the foreach loop has terminated
so any further foreach statements on the same array will overwrite the
previous reference which is still pointing to the last item.
