Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-02 01:25:38] scribles at scribles dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.is-array --- misleading The post by Xunnamius@DarkGray on 27-Jun-2011 06:31 is confusing testing for an array and testing for an associative array. I spent way too much time trying to figure out how "return ((array) $arr !== $arr);" could possible test for an associative array before I realized it just tests for any array. The name of the functions (is_assoc_3 and is_assoc_4) and the context of comparing them to functions that do test for associative arrays make it appear that the functions do something other than what they do. I was going to post a note explaining this so someone else wouldn't waste their time, but I didn't want to add more clutter to the notes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55571&edit=1
