Feature or bug ? <?php $a = array("a" => "AA", "b" => "BB", "c" => "CC"); $a2 = $a; $z = array("z" => array("z1"=>"ZZ1","z2"=>"ZZ2"), "x" =>"XX"); // 1 try to replace "b"=>"BB" by contents of $z array_splice($a, 1, 1, $z); print_r($a); // produces : Array ( [a] => AA [0] => Array ( [z1] => ZZ1 [z2] => ZZ2 ) [1] => XX [c] => CC ) echo "<hr>"; // 2 try to replace "b"=>"BB" by contents of $z as in manual array_splice($a, 1, 1, array($z)); print_r($a); // produces : Array ( [a] => AA [0] => Array ( [z] => Array ( [z1] => ZZ1 [z2] => ZZ2 ) [x] => XX ) [1] => XX [c] => CC ) // I'd like : // Array ( [a] => AA [z] => Array ( [z1] => ZZ1 [z2] => ZZ2 ) [1] => XX [c] => CC ) ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=11074&edit=1
