it 's not a feature request.

When i want to change string in a array, i use preg_replace. But this
function destroy my array (like the result of a ldap search). So, if
preg_replace is unable to perform a recursive replacement, the result
should be the initial array. 

Or change the doc.

thanks

when i use p_reg_replace on multi-dimensional arrays, the utput  array
is  one dimensional array and so i lost data.
i get this bug when i want replace patten with a ldap result
(ldap_get_entries);

i use the latest win32 CVS (php4) and i get with php-4.2.3

<?php


# good result
$tableau = array ( "toto", "titi", "tata" );
$tableau2 = preg_replace ( '{t}', '-', $tableau );
var_dump ( $tableau2 );

echo "----------------------------------------------\n";
# wrong result
$tableau = array ( array ("toto"), array ("titi"), array ("tata") );
var_dump ( $tableau );
$tableau2 = preg_replace ( '{t}', '-', $tableau );
var_dump ( $tableau2 );


?>
the output is:

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(4) "-o-o"
  [1]=>
  string(4) "-i-i"
  [2]=>
  string(4) "-a-a"
}
---------------------------------------------
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    string(4) "toto"
  }
  [1]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    string(4) "titi"
  }
  [2]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    string(4) "tata"
  }
}
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(5) "Array"
  [1]=>
  string(5) "Array"
  [2]=>
  string(5) "Array"
}
