#42941 [NEW]: array_slice resets the current array position

From: jonas at skubic dot se Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5CVS-2007-10-12 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: array_slice resets the current array position Description: ------------ array_slice seems to be resetting the current array position *before* processing the offset parameter. This makes it impossible to directly use expressions that use the array position for the offset parameter. It would be mildly useful and less surprising if the parameters were evaluated before altering the array. Reproduce code: --------------- $a = range(0, 9); next($a); next($a); $b = array_slice($a, key($a)); print_r($b); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 3 [2] => 4 [3] => 5 [4] => 6 [5] => 7 [6] => 8 [7] => 9 ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => 0 [1] => 1 [2] => 2 [3] => 3 [4] => 4 [5] => 5 [6] => 6 [7] => 7 [8] => 8 [9] => 9 ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42941&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42941&r=mysqlcfg
