To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

You can work round this but it is not elegant. There seems to be no reason why array_reduce should not work with strings (it did in 4.x) Reproduce code: --------------- see comment on array_reduce page Expected result: ---------------- see comment on array_reduce page ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42566&edit=1
