Reclassifying as a feature request, regardless of whether it happens anytime soon. :)

This is a repeat of 5226, but I couldn't add anything without a password, which I didn't
have.
In that bug, stas@cvs.php.net didn't understand the example that was given. What happens is
this: if you have
$a[5]="five";
$a[6]="six";
and then do array_pop($a), you now have $a[0]="five", not $a[5]="five", as I
would expect.
Despite not understanding the example, stas answered the question: that's the way the zend
engine works. But you don't see that as a problem?

Presently, all splice-derived functions reorder numeric keys.
There's not much to do about it, since it's the way Zend Engine handles numeric hash keys.
Changing it either way won't bring more consistent functionality, so in the meantime it is
just as it is.

AFAIU that's exactly what pop should do - pop element from array.
Why should it insert empty element on top?

<?
$A[1] = 'A';
$A[2] = 'B';
$A[3] = 'C';
$DUMP = array_pop($A);
for ($i=0; $i<=sizeof($A); $i++) {
print "$i = ".$A[$i]."<br>n";
}
?>
returns:
0 = A
1 = B
2 =
but should return
0 =
1 = A
2 = B
