This is the best way I have found for figuring out if it is an associative array or not.
function is_assoc_array($array)
{
if (!is_array($array)) return;
@eval ("list(\$test) = \$array;");
if (isset($test))
{
return 0; // Isn't an assoc array
}
else
{
return 1; // Is an assoc array
}
}
This should work as long as list always expects a numeric array :) Hint, Hint, Hint developers, if
you change this please add us a real function call ;)
