note 79690 added to ref.array

Important note, when inserting elements into an array they stay in the order they are inserted even if you use numerical keys. Example: $a = array(4=>'Four',1=>'One',2=>'Two'); print_r($a); Outputs: Array ( [4] => Four [1] => One [2] => Two ) To get them in correct order you must use ksort(). I'm not sure why this is desired functionality, if someone could explain I would love to know the reason. If you use numerical indexes, is the array treated as an associative array? ---- Server IP: 203.202.10.60 Probable Submitter: 58.6.117.170 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/79690 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79690/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79690/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79690/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79690/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79690/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79690/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79690 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/79690 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
