array_merge bug ?

Hi,

This is my code :
########
$Table1 = array('test' => 1, '432' => 2) ;
$Table2 = array('test2' => 1) ;

$Result = array_merge($Table1, $Table2) ;

echo "

Table1=" . print_r($Table1, 1) . "

";
echo "

Table2=" . print_r($Table2, 1) . "

";
echo "

Result=" . print_r($Result, 1) . "

";
########

And the result is :

########
Table1=Array
(
[test] => 1
[432] => 2
)
Table2=Array
(
[test2] => 1
)
Result=Array
(
[test] => 1
[0] => 2
[test2] => 1
)
########

The '432' key has become 0 !
Is it a bug (I couldn't find it over google) ?

How to keep the '432' key in the result ?

Thanks in advance,

// Cornelius

I've just found the solution :

$Result = $Table1 + $Table2 ;

is better than :

$Result = array_merge($Table1, $Table2) ;

This is documented, see array_merge manual page.
