ID: 37451 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: pavlos at psychology dot gr -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.4.2 New Comment: We are sorry, but we can not support PHP 4 related problems anymore. Momentum is gathering for PHP 6, and we think supporting PHP 4 will lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 6 ready.
