Bug #14917 Updated: When using array_merge w/numbers & assoc array the numbers are changed to 0,1..

ID: 14917 Updated by: andrei@php.net Reported By: blaine_mcdonnell@yahoo.com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: BSD & Windows PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: This happens because of the way PHP treats array keys that are quoted numbers, that is, "7" is really an integer key 7 and those do get renumbered by array_merge() as it's supposed to work this way.
