note 129842 added to function.array

As the note below the article says, "array() is a language construct used to represent literal arrays, and not a regular function". You can verify this by running <?php var_dump(function_exists('array')); // not a proper function; shows bool(false) ?> As such, you cannot pass it directly as a callback <?php var_dump(array_map('array', ['a', 'b', 'c'])); // this won't run. As of 8.3.6, throws a PHP Warning (Uncaught TypeError) ?> You can bypass this by making an anonymous wrapper <?php var_dump(array_map(function ($x) { return array($x); }, ['a', 'b', 'c'])); // shows the desired array ?> ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 80.90.5.137 (proxied: 200.89.69.151) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/function.array.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/129842 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129842/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129842/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129842/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129842/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129842/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129842/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129842 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/129842 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
