array_merge() is unable to merge arrays with numeric keys (as described in the documentation), however that?s usefull sometimes and should be possible, in face of the fact that even casting the keys to (string) they?re saved as (int)s.

workaround:
to merge arrays with numeric keys you can save all keys with a string prefix 'a'.$int for example, after extracting the key do a substr($key,1)

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip

 Seems that F/CR is old.
The docs read :

If you want to completely preserve the arrays and just want to append them to each other, use the + operator: 

$array1 = array();
$array2 = array(1 => "data");
$result = $array1 + $array2;

So I think to close this.

Thank you for your report.
