These seemed to be ones probably good to be in the docs, and I can document them without any developer help :) I think I am not in the place to make decisions about whether these functions should exists or not. As I have seen they are in the source, and they are undocumented, I have started to work on them. > key_exists: it should be named array_key_exists first, and second, > isset($a[key]) simply works fine. A -1 on that one. (I know, and I also read > in the archives, about the value-being-NULL issue, but still I don't think > key_exists should exist. Key_exists also works on objects. Maybe this is why it is named key_exists. Yes, it seems the same as isset($array[$key]), but I thought that guys must be doing something right there, so maybe it is more relevant for these things... The reason I have added this in arary.xml is that it is in array.c, but it is wriiten in a way, that it works fine with objects as well, so I played with it for some minutes to put in in var.xml instead... I also added an isset() pointer, so people can find another way of doing things.. > And array_change_key_case... why??

OK, I have seen that this is there for a month now in the code, so I thought it hurts noone... If it is not appropriate, please remove it from the source and documentation after discussion. I just wanted to make better statistics for undocumented functions, and tried to document some basic ones. Goba
