I thought the FLAG would just mean that it would iterate over a whole array and allow it. I think that we should add a second flag called "FORCE_ARRAY" or something instead.
The flag allows arrays and always returns an array. It is obvious as if you allow array or scalar, you have to use is_array, that's a step we easily drop internally by always returning an array. I do not see the point to have ALLOW_ARRAY and FORCE_ARRAY. It is confusing. --Pierre -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
