Array_Merge With A Generated Php Variable

[Necuima]

Hi Larry,

 

I recently came across an issue whereby array_merge would not accept the second argument, an array with a generated PHP variable name, without typecasting it.

 

The array in question tested as an array with var_dump so I did not understand why the array_merge was failing saying that the second argument was not an array.

 

But typecasting it as an array solved the issue.

$destination_array = array_merge($destination_array, array(${"generated_array_name" . $suffix})); // works

Posted in case it is of interest.

 

PHP version 5.5.3

 

Cheers from Oz.
