Why this is not a bug? Can you explain why this function should treat objects like arrays (and merges their fields with items of arrays which is weird) while another array functions doesn't do so? It is not stated in the documentation. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-11-01 11:25:26] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-11 23:35:21] tomas_matousek at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ Although one cannot pass obejects to array_merge_recursive() function, it looks like it doesn't ignore objects at all. If objects are contained in the array it merges them as if they were arrays of fields. I think it is not good to treat objects in this way when other array functions doesn't do so (e.g. array_walk_recursive doesn't step to fields of objects). Reproduce code: --------------- class A { var $field = array(1); } $a = new A; $x = array("a" => $a); $y = array("a" => array("field" => array(2))); var_dump(array_merge_recursive($x,$y)); Expected result: ---------------- array(1) { ["a"]=> array(2) { [0]=> object(A)#1 (1) { ["field"]=> array(1) { [0]=> int(1) } } ["field"]=> array(1) { [0]=> int(2) } } } Actual result: -------------- array(1) { ["a"]=> array(1) { ["field"]=> array(2) { [0]=> int(1) [1]=> int(2) } } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34834&edit=1
