note 16026 deleted from function.array-merge by sniper

Note Submitter: dave@ovumdesign.com ---- Here's an easy way to write functions that accept either a scalar argument or an array. This relies on an undocumented behavior of array_merge(), such that if a non-array arguement is supplied, it is automatically converted into an array. I'm using PHP 4.0.3pl1 from Debian Potato. function scalar_or_array($mixed) { foreach (array_merge(array(), $mixed) as $item) { echo "$item"; } } scalar_or_array('a'); scalar_or_array(array('b', 'c')); This code should print "abc".
