1. passing two arrays.
2. they both contain a reference to an object.
3. i expect the function to preserve the structure of the object.
4. notice: ["�A�variable"] <-- whats that?

What's the problem here? You're passing an object to a function
expecting arrays and think it will work..?

Description:
------------
Calling array_merge_recursive() produces an unclear warning ("recursion
detected in"...) and seems to be breaking the script. The above happens
if two conditions are met:
1. there is a private/protected data member in the object (see code).
2. the merged arrays contain at least one same string as key.
* please note: following code reproduces this problem on the latest
snaps of both 5.2.6 and 5.3
Reproduce code:
---------------
class A {
private $variable;
public function __construct() {
$this->variable = 'foo';
}
}
$x = new A;
$b = array_merge_recursive(array("name"=>$x),array("name"=>$x));
var_dump($b);
Expected result:
----------------
see 'Actual result' below...
Actual result:
--------------
array(1) {
["name"]=>
array(1) {
["�A�variable"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(3) "foo"
[1]=>
string(3) "foo"
}
}
}
