Hi,
Regarding what seems an array merge bug. This was
quickly made bogus (:-), but I think that the
point was missed. The issue isn't that the key
was made numeric - I had it numeric and not a string
in the first place. The issue is that the key value
was changed.
The array element key values had a meaning - otherwise
I wouldn't have bothered by using keys at all.
array_merge should not change the value of keys. It should
just merge! If not a bug, it is a flaw.
Nick
