(which would contain a mix of numeric and assoc keys) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-10 21:23:28] cmb@php.net Sorry, I fail to understand what you are proposing. If I want to add an element to an arbitrary array, I would use $pr[] = $element; Wouldn't that work for you? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-04-23 07:37:23] raat1979 at gmail dot com Thinking about this there is currently is no (normal) way to get the next available numeric member of an array, one could consider this a bug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
