Hi internals,
I’ve proposed a small RFC to add *is_assoc_array(array $array):* bool to
the PHP core.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/is_assoc_array
The function detects associative arrays using internal storage
*(HT_IS_PACKED)*.
Similar helpers exist in frameworks, and a native version would be faster
and more consistent.
No BC breaks. No impact on SAPIs or OPcache.
Feedback welcome.
Thanks,
Muhammed Arshid
