Here is what i encountered. I declared an array "my_array" with different offset value. In my case its offset value is 1. So my_array[0] is not defined. Now when I After that, i used the predefined function array_slice. In array_slice i entered 1 and 3 as the offset value and required length value. Now as print the sliced array, it should display: shiva hanu bhrama but what i am experiencing is : vishnu shiva hanu. It seems like that the array_slice function is not aware of the offset value change in the array. Test script: --------------- <?php $my_array = array( 1 => "vishnu" , "shiva" , "hanu" , "bhrama" ); print_r($my_array); echo $my_array[0]; // this is coming undefined // $slice = array_slice($my_array,1,3); print_r($slice); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64143&edit=1
