#43693 [NEW]: array_fill_keys() value parameter, misleading array suggestion

From: stein at visibone dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: array_fill_keys() value parameter, misleading array suggestion Description: ------------ Description of the "value" parameter is misleading: Either an string or an array of values implying (or badly open to misinterpretation) that the "values" would be applied to the output array, one "value" per element, as is array_combine(). The truth is an array for the 2nd parameter would be used as any other type would be: cloned for every value in the output array. That should be explicit, e.g.: Assigned to each and every element of the output array Reproduce code: --------------- array(1=>array(11,22), 2=>array(11,22)) == array_fill_keys(array(1,2), array(11,22)) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43693&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43693&r=mysqlcfg
