PHP 4.0 Bug #10149 Updated: array_pop reorders array keys

ID: 10149 User Update by: spinn@spinnwebe.com Status: Closed Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Description: array_pop reorders array keys I don't understand. I know it's a duplicate, but it wasn't fixed in 5226, either. Doesn't this make the array_x functions useless? Or, worse than useless, really, because I have to figure out which ones work and which don't (since I see array_pop works as expected), and keep a list of which ones to avoid, since functions can't be redefined, and I don't have the option of fixing them locally. Or, to put it another way: $a != array_pop(array_push($a, 1)) Again: this doesn't seem like a problem to you?

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? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10149
