is_hash?!

[nutshell]

I need an is_hash (or is_associative_array) function... anyone got a solution?

[tomhath]

All php arrays are associative arrays.

Ya, I kind of noticed that.

So you're telling me there's no way to know if an array was declared like

array('foo' => 'bar');

or

array('foo', 'bar');

?

[rohithmr]

well, u cudd try by checking if the index of the array is numeric by using the function is_numeric()

[tomhath]

is this an associative array?

array('0' => 'bar');

I would say no, because you can access that element using the integer index too:

i.e.

<?php
$a = array('1' => 'foo');
print $a[1];
?>

works.
