From: joern dot berkefeld at bittubes dot com Operating system: - PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:array_rand returns differ - should always be an array
Description: ------------ --- >From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.array-rand --- >From the manual: "If you are picking only one entry, array_rand() returns the key for a random entry. Otherwise, it returns an array of keys for the random entries" That causes problems as this functionality is unexpected. Functions should always return the same type (or false / null for failure) Expected result: ---------------- get an array regardless of the number of results Actual result: -------------- the function returns an integer for one result and an array for multiple results -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64056&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64056&r=mysqlcfg
