Weird behaviour when adding values to associative arrays [message #177779]

I made a small example to show this really strange behaviour.
Basically, I have an array of 4 associative arrays declared like this:

$houses[] = array(
"metri" => "72",
"costo" => "700",
"note" => "Fourth item"
);

if, after declaring the arrays, I add a field to all records, like this:

$count = 0;
foreach ($houses as &$house) // note the ampersand
$house['id'] = $count++;

then one of the records is overwritten by another! Here is the weird
output:

Three values are showed, while in the source four different values are
listed. Here is the source:

Finally, if I sort the array afterwards with usort and then print it, a
different record is overwritten! Seems like it is totally messed up.

Is it me? I shouldn't use that syntax? (found in a comment in php.net)

Thanks
Eugenio
