note 125418 added to function.asort

"This function sorts an array such that array indices maintain their correlation with the array elements they are associated with." Note this sentence in the description has a quite important implication especially when you're working with an originally non-indexed (or say integer-indexed) array and JSON encoding/decoding. I'm not reporting this as a bug, because the end result does fit into the description. <?php $myArray = ['small_image', 'image']; var_dump(json_encode($myArray)); // string(23) "["small_image","image"]" var_dump(is_object($myArray)); // bool(false) asort($myArray); $myJson = json_encode($myArray); var_dump($myJson); // string(31) "{"1":"image","0":"small_image"}" var_dump(is_object($myArray)); // bool(false) /* * class stdClass#1 (2) { * public $1 => * string(5) "image" * public $0 => * string(11) "small_image" * } */ var_dump(json_decode($myJson)); ?> ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 101.0.109.162 (proxied: 13.54.132.42) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.asort.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/125418 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125418/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125418/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125418/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125418/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125418/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125418/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/125418 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/125418 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
