note 92186 added to language.types.array

Note for PHP 5.3 changed behavior in 'erroneous' array creation: Prior to PHP 5.3, this array definition (note the duplicate key): <?php $a = array ('foo' => 1, 'bar' => 2, 'foo' => 3); ?> Would create the following array: array( 'foo' => 3, 'bar' => 2 ) So the /second/ key in the duplicate would override the first declaration. Now with PHP 5.3, the following array will be created: array( 'foo' => 1, 'bar' => 2 ) So the second duplicate key would be ignored. Note that the array declaration indeed contains an error, but if your legacy code contains such array declaration, you will be hurt because of the changed behavior. ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 208.84.104.226 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92186 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92186/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92186/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92186/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92186/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92186/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92186/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92186 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92186 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
