array_slice() should reset() the array pointer; however, I've observed the 
following:

// MySQL formatted date
$string = '2011-06-30 02:49:24';

// Regex to convert date to parts, with time optional
preg_match('/^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})( (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})\.?\d?)?$/', 
$string, $parts);

$output = array_slice($parts, 0, 4) + array_slice($parts, 5);

print_r($output);

Basically, this was just a quick, dirty way to get date/time values into parts, 
but ignore the match of just the time ($parts[4]). I expected to get:

Array
(
    [0] => 2011-06-30 02:49:24
    [1] => 2011
    [2] => 06
    [3] => 30
    [4] => 02
    [5] => 49
    [6] => 24
)

But I always got:

Array
(
    [0] => 2011-06-29 21:49:24
    [1] => 2011
    [2] => 06
    [3] => 29
)

However, this does produce the expected result:

$array = array_slice($parts, 0, 4) + array_slice($parts, 1);
print_r($array);

Note that the second slice starts the slice at index 1 and not 5 as I'd expect 
if index() had been reset by first call to array_slice.

Apparently, the reset() is called only after completion of the full statement 
and not by the function itself? Not sure if this is a bug or an undocumented 
feature.

My example is a bit silly, I know, as I should have array_spliced() in this 
case, but the output 

Test script:
---------------
// MySQL formatted date
$string = '2011-06-30 02:49:24';

// Regex to convert date to parts, with time optional
preg_match('/^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})( (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})\.?\d?)?$/', $string, $parts);

$output = array_slice($parts, 0, 4) + array_slice($parts, 5);

print_r($output);
