PHP 4.0 Bug #3281 Updated: Array handling returns "Array" or does something stupid when keys are strings

ID: 3281 Updated by: torben Reported By: johnston@itactics.com Status: Closed Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Assigned To: Comments: These are not bugs; both behaviours are explained in the manual. They result from PHP not being able to simply echo or print an array; if you try it, PHP prints out 'Array' to let you know that you've tried to do that. The first issue is related to the problem of interpreting array syntax inside encapsulating strings; this and the above are discussed at: http://www.php.net/manual/language.types.array.php3 The second issue stems from the fact that array_keys() returns the keys as an array, which again cannot simply be echoed out: http://www.php.net/manual/function.array-keys.php3 Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=3281
