Note, however, that references inside arrays are potentially dangerous. Doing a normal (not by reference) assignment with a reference on the right side does not turn the left side into a reference, but references inside arrays are preserved in these normal assignments. This also applies to function calls where the array is passed by value.

在赋值数组的时候,如果=右边的数据存在引用,那边赋值的新数组对应的元素也是引用,所以改变$c[0]的值 也会同时改变$a[0]的值。
