#37149 [NEW]: is_array doesn't return TRUE on ArrayObject

From: troelskn at gmail dot com Operating system: Any PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: SPL related Bug description: is_array doesn't return TRUE on ArrayObject Description: ------------ Using is_array() on an instance of ArrayObject returns FALSE. While strictly speaking this is true, it would make sense to return TRUE in most application-level code. Expected result: ---------------- A solution could be to add an argument to is_array, which relaxes the check to include ArrayObject. Eg. : bool is_array ( mixed var, [bool strict] ) $obj = new ArrayObject(); is_array($obj, FALSE); // returns TRUE is_array($obj); // returns FALSE -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37149&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37149&r=mysqlcfg
