 New Comment:

well but if a failure is the expected result, than it's a php4 bug and
php5 is correct, since php4 returns an array containing the values of
$array2. if this is a wanted change from php4 to php5 it should be made
public somewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

All arguments to the function must be arrays, otherwise the function
will fail. That is to be expected.

Description:
------------
if i use array_merge with two arrays, where one array-variable isn't
set, the function returns NULL instead of the values of the other
array.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php 
error_reporting(E_ALL & E_NOTICE); 
$array2 = array(1, 'a', TRUE); 
$array3 = array_merge($array2, $array1); // $array1 isn't set
var_dump($array3); 
?>  


Expected result:
----------------
works like this in PHP4:



undefined variable array1; 

should return array(1, 'a', true);

Actual result:
--------------
behaves like this in PHP5 snap:



undefined variable array1; 

returns NULL;
