Hi internals, I’ve proposed a small RFC to add *is_assoc_array(array $array):* bool to the PHP core.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/is_assoc_array The function detects associative arrays using internal storage *(HT_IS_PACKED)*. Similar helpers exist in frameworks, and a native version would be faster and more consistent. No BC breaks. No impact on SAPIs or OPcache. Feedback welcome. Thanks, Muhammed Arshid
