Also, for some stupid, stupid reason, when you use unset() on an array, it
not only removes the item but it reduces the index, and not in a way you'd
expect.

For example:

$dope = array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");
unset($dope[1]);

What *should* happen is the second array item (b) should disappear. What
*does* happen is that $dope[1] is unset, AND the index is reduced, but the
item isn't deleted. So your array now goes "a", (blank), "c", "d". Both
"b" and "e" were lost.

Very annoying.
 

is that proper behavior?

Seems like a bug to me and curious if it ever got fixed - i'm having to
array_splice to delete any values currently

it would be helpfull to know if the 4.0.2 release will include that fix

Thanks

Eric
