note 56040 added to language.operators.array

When comparing arrays that have (some or all) element-values that are themselves array, then in PHP5 it seems that == and === are applied recursively - that is * two arrays satisfy == if they have the same keys, and the values at each key satisfy == for whatever they happen to be (which might be arrays); * two arrays satisfy === if they have the same keys, and the values at each key satisfy === for whatever (etc.). Which explains what happens if we compare two arrays of arrays of arrays of... Likewise, the corresponding inversions for != <> and !==. I've tested this to array-of-array-of-array, which seems fairly convincing. I've not tried it in PHP4 or earlier. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.array.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56040 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56040&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56040&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56040&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56040&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56040&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56040&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56040&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
