For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-16 17:30:38] nalkat at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ When dealing with arrays indexed by a numerical string (i.e. $array['1']) and then attempting to use isset or similar on the value, results are not as expected. As you can see from the example below, it would be impossible to use something such as: $opts = getopt("1:2:a:b:"); if (isset($opts['1'])) { do_something(); } if (isset($opts['2'])) { do_something_else(); } if (isset($opts['a'])) { echo "works\n"; } ... ... Reproduce code: --------------- <? // test.php $opts = getopt("1:2:3:4:a:"); if (isset($opts['1'])) { echo "it worked for 1!\n"; } if (isset($opts['a'])) { echo "it worked for a!\n"; } var_dump ($opts); ?> (host)# php -q test.php -1 hi -a bye Expected result: ---------------- EXPECTED: ----------- it worked for 1! it worked for a! array(2) { ["1"]=> string(2) "hi" ["a"]=> string(3) "bye" } Actual result: -------------- ACTUAL: ----------- it worked for a! array(2) { ["1"]=> string(2) "hi" ["a"]=> string(3) "bye" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35713&edit=1
