PHP Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem
Bug description: array_merge_recursive change in behaviour php4>5
Description:
------------
in php4 array_merge_recursive($arr1,$arr...) allowed the first array
argument to be unassigned , in php5 it requires inintialising.
perhaps php4 behaviour was a feature-bug ?
Reproduce code:
---------------
while( $whatever ){
$arr = foo->get_arr();
$tmp = array_merge_recursive( $tmp , $arr ) ;
}
Expected result:
----------------
$tmp is created if !exists & continues as expected
Actual result:
--------------
PHP-4.3.8 >> $tmp is created if !exists & continues as expected
PHP-5.0.3 Warning: array_merge_recursive() Argument #1 is not an array in
....
easily `solved` by initialising $tmp prior to use $tmp=array(); just
unsure if this is intended ?
