Doc #62595 [NEW]: array_slice documentation error

From: theanomaly dot is at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:array_slice documentation error Description: ------------ The documentation for array_slice currently states that "Note: This function will reset() the array pointer of the input array after use.", which is not true. After having reviewed the source and confirmed with a test I'm submitting a patch to remove this note from the docs. Below I've provided a test script to prove that this behavior is non-existent. I also have a patch from edit.php.net to remove this note. Thanks. Test script: --------------- <?php $array = array(1,2,3,4); /* This should produce int(2) */ var_dump(next($array)); $slice = array_slice($array, -1); /* This should still produce int(2) */ var_dump(current($array)); $slice = array_slice($array, 2, 1); /* This should still produce int(2) */ var_dump(current($array)); /* This proves the array's internal pointer was never changed by array_slice() */ Expected result: ---------------- int(2) int(1) int(1) Actual result: -------------- int(2) int(2) int(2) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62595&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62595&r=mysqlcfg
