PHP always uses associative arrays -- so performing unset() on an array index leaves you with the proper number of elements. Your array just no longer contans the key 1 when you do the above. > > Very annoying. > > > > is that proper behavior? Yes. > > Seems like a bug to me and curious if it ever got fixed - i'm having to > array_splice to delete any values currently If you're expecting the array to magically decrement the remaining indexes after the value you unset .. it appears as though you'll have to use array_splice to do it, unless someone else knows a better way. Or, better yet -- unset($dope[1]); $tmp = Array(); foreach ($dope as $key =>$val) { $tmp[] = $val; } $dope = $tmp; > > it would be helpfull to know if the 4.0.2 release will include that fix > > Thanks > > Eric > > > On Thu, 24 Aug 2000, Andi Gutmans wrote: > > > Well for a change the code freeze really seems to be taking place :) > > I think we're pretty much ready to release.
