Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: Bug #1629 Updated: for x undefined values in an array, implode concatenates the last x + 1 items From: Jim Winstead (jimw <email protected>)

Something is clearly wrong with your installation of PHP. It could
be because it is an old version (try downloading the latest from
www.php.net), or it could be that there is something wrong with the
RPM package (use the source distribution).

Providing a script and saying "it is broken" is not nearly as useful
as providing a script and saying "the output I see is X, but I expect
to see Y", particularly when that script is 58 lines long. And when
it really is a bug that only you are seeing.
