Bug description: array_merge_recursive modifies inputted value
In Summary:
--------------
array_merge_recursive() modifies the array entered as the second parameter
if the merged arrays have at least one identical stringed key. It will
affect all such duplicate keys, and modify the second parameter's array as
demonstrated below.
Example:
--------------
<?php
$a = array(2 => '2 a', 'foo' => 'foo a','bar' => 'bar a');
$b = array(2 => '2 b', 'foo' => 'foo b','bar' => 'bar b');
$c['recursive'] = array_merge_recursive($a,$b);
$c['a'] = $a;
$c['b'] = $b;
print_r($c);
?>
Example output:
---------------
Array
(
[recursive] => Array
(
[0] => 2 a
[foo] => Array
(
[0] => foo a
[1] => foo b
)
[bar] => Array
(
[0] => bar a
[1] => bar b
)
[1] => 2 b
)
[a] => Array
(
[2] => 2 a
[foo] => foo a
[bar] => bar a
)
[b] => Array
(
[2] => 2 b
[foo] => Array
(
[0] => foo b
)
[bar] => Array
(
[0] => bar b
)
)
)
Notes:
----------------
Notice how in $b, keys 'foo' and 'bar' are now arrays when initially they
were not. This behavior exists with all such duplicate stringed keys.
array_merge_recursive() should not directly affect inputted values. This
seems related to bug
#14128.
