Description:
------------
When the function unpack returns an array with just one element, it doesn't have an index.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
	$sp = chr(0x20);
	$a = unpack('C1', $sp);
?>
<pre>
<? print_r($a); ?>
</pre>

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [] => 32
)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [1] => 32
)

You're not using unpack correctly.  The format string is

Type.Multiplicity.Name

Name cannot begin with or be a number, as it would be 
impossible to distinguish multiplicty from name.

Why this code works fine?
<?
	$sp = chr(0x20);
	$a = unpack('C2', $sp.$sp);
?>
<pre>
<? print_r($a); ?>
</pre>
We get:
Array
(
    [1] => 32
    [2] => 32
)

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

I see what you're saying now.  This has been fixed in 
HEAD.
