Description:
------------
When I merge two arrays using + operator, result is array only with the first array elements.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$arr1 = array(1, 2, 3);
$arr2 = array(5, 6, 7);
$arr = $arr1 + $arr2;

result $arr:
array(1, 2, 3)

Expected behaviour.
Use array_merge_recursive() to get the result you expect.

Why do you think that is bogus? If it's true, please remove from manual this passage:

If you want to completely preserve the arrays and just want to append them to each other, use the + operator:
<?php
$array1 = array();
$array2 = array(1 => "data");
$result = $array1 + $array2;
?>

because $result is $array1 not $array1 + $array2
