ID: 20381 Updated by: moriyoshi@php.net Reported By: mailfrom-bugs.php.net@kopka.net -Status: Verified +Status: Closed Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: SuSE Linux 7.3 PHP Version: 4.3.0-dev New Comment: This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-12 07:22:51] sniper@php.net They're actually mangled with CVS HEAD too..somehow I missed that or had those print_r() lines in wrong place. :I ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-12 07:16:46] mailfrom-bugs.php.net@kopka.net In 4.3.2 the source arrays are mangled even when you don't add them to the result. This was just for a nicer, smaller example. Example ======== // Same $a and $b as before $result = array_merge_recursive( $a, $b ); print_r( $c ); print_r( $a ); print_r( $b ); // have sadly the same effect ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-12 06:33:56] sniper@php.net Reproduced using latest CVS. The original arrays are fine, but when they're added to the resulting array, then they get mangled. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-11 23:04:18] mailfrom-bugs.php.net@kopka.net Similar to #14990 (exept that the demo code there runs fine) and the first source array gets mangled. Example ========= <pre><? $a = array( 'a1' => 1, 'a2' => array( 1, 2, 3 ), 'a3' => array( 'a' => array( 10, 20, 30 ), 'b' => 'b' ) ); $b = array( 'a1' => 2, 'a2' => array( 3, 4, 5 ), 'a3' => array( 'c' => 'cc', 'a' => array( 10, 40 ) ) ); $c['result'] = array_merge_recursive( $a, $b ); $c['a'] = $a; $c['b'] = $b; print_r( $c ); ?> Example Output ================ Array ( [result] => Array ( [a1] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 ) [a2] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 3 [4] => 4 [5] => 5 ) [a3] => Array ( [a] => Array ( [0] => 10 [1] => 20 [2] => 30 [3] => 10 [4] => 40 ) [b] => b [c] => cc ) ) [a] => Array ( [a1] => 1 [a2] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 3 [4] => 4 [5] => 5 ) [a3] => Array ( [a] => Array ( [0] => 10 [1] => 20 [2] => 30 [3] => 10 [4] => 40 ) [b] => b [c] => cc ) ) [b] => Array ( [a1] => 2 [a2] => Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => 4 [2] => 5 ) [a3] => Array ( [c] => cc [a] => Array ( [0] => 10 [1] => 40 ) ) ) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20381&edit=1
