Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Arrays related
PHP Version: 4.3.3
New Comment:
in regards to RTFM:
as you see in the example, it was written as '-999', means it is a
string!
Furthermore, array_merge is behaving correctly (not converting strings
containing only numbers to numbers..) in earlier version
what for example if my key NEEDS to be '0497121' (this is my
phone-number-prefix), in this case i need the leading 0, and I don't
need it renumbered, because for my context this is a string, not an
int.
The Documentation is correct on ints, the problem is that a string only
containing numbers will be converted to an int before merging the
arrays (which is a new behaviour, and in my Eye bogus)

RTFM: "Don't forget that numeric keys will be renumbered!"
"-999" is numeric

Changing bug category as requested by f.berger.

The Category should be changed and the bug should be retitled, because
this is a general bug, not related to PEAR, and not related to
HTML_QuickForm.
Problem I have:
$ar = array ('-999'=>'a',0=>'b',1=>'c');
$ar2 = array ('x'=>'x','y'=>'y','z'=>'z');
print_r(array_merge($ar,$ar2));
results in a version prior to 4.3.3 to
Array ( [-999] => c [0] => b [1] => a [x] => x [y] => y [z] => z )
in version 4.3.3 to
[0] => a [1] => b [2] => c [x] => x [y] => y [z] => z )

Description:
------------
When the index in the array is a string like "1234567890", I mean
containing only figures, array_merge will convert it to an int and
change the index by resetting the value.
2 options:
Make our own array_merge function.
PHP Team fix array_merge so that it keep track of the index type.
