This is a pretty well known issue indeed. I should have read the archive carefully. Related reports: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=6417 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=7412 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=7515 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15025

I wouldn't like to call it 'well-known'. Misleading words? What I meant was "this turned out to be a pretty well known issue"... hardly had I noticed this problem until I saw this report, I found several related reports during the investigation. So I regarded it as a kind of them.

OK - you're forgiven :)

And I don't like the implications of 1 perfectly valid statement, impacting the scope of an array in a non-documented and plain wrong manner. Is it okay to always perform separation on all the elements of passed arrays? If so, the attached patch should work. IF this can't be fixed short term, we surely could detect the statement and issue a warning? AFAIK possible. We'll have to trade off performance against usability.

My proposal, was based on 2 things: fix or document. I'm sure Zeev/Andi had a good reason not to always separate, and that probably is performance. IF this impacts overall performance very negatively, then maybe the better choice is to document it. I'll try the patch though.
