#29253 [Opn->Ver]: array_diff with $GLOBALS argument fails apache.(zend optimizer running)

ID: 29253 Updated by: andrey@php.net Reported By: camka at email dot ee -Status: Open +Status: Verified Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: Unix, Win2000 PHP Version: 4.3.8 New Comment: To my knowledge array_diff* do not unset anything. I confirm the behaviour under 5.1.0-dev (of 7.Aug.2004) as well as with 4.2.3 (so this problem exists also in the old implementation of the function). The problem appears when only $GLOBALS is used, and the latter is a variable (array) with specific behaviour. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce similar problem with one of the other array functions.
