note 87735 added to function.array-pad

Beware, if you try to pad an associative array using numeric keys, your keys will be re-numbered. $a = array('size'=>'large', 'number'=>20, 'color'=>'red'); print_r($a); print_r(array_pad($a, 5, 'foo')); // use timestamps as keys $b = array(1229600459=>'large', 1229604787=>20, 1229609459=>'red'); print_r($b); print_r(array_pad($b, 5, 'foo')); yields this: ------------------ Array ( [size] => large [number] => 20 [color] => red ) Array ( [size] => large [number] => 20 [color] => red [0] => foo [1] => foo ) Array ( [1229600459] => large [1229604787] => 20 [1229609459] => red ) Array ( [0] => large [1] => 20 [2] => red [3] => foo [4] => foo ) ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 204.181.64.59 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-pad.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/87735 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87735/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87735/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87735/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87735/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87735/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87735/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87735 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/87735 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
