Description:
------------
array_multisort() will reindex the array but not if array length is 1
Produced and reproduced in php.4.3.x and up to 5.beta

Similar (but not the same) as
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=12572
(different function, 12572 is sort() )

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php 

// array_multisort() will reindex the array but not if array length is 1, is
this a bug? 

// array length 1 

$a = array(1=>1); 
array_multisort($a); 
var_dump($a); 

// output: array(1) { [1]=> int(1) } 
// first index 1, not reindexed! 

//---------------------- 

// array length 2 

$a = array(1=>1,2); 
array_multisort($a); 
var_dump($a); 

// output: array(2) { [0]=> int(1) [1]=> int(2) } 
// first index 0, reindexed! 

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Array should be reindexed to:
output: array(1) { [0]=> int(1) } 
on first attempt (where array length = 1)

Actual result:
--------------
output: array(1) { [1]=> int(1) } 

array is not reindexed

From sources:
        /* If all arrays are empty or have only one entry,
           we don't need to do anything. */

According to that, this is the expected behaviour.
This was for empty arrays first, but Andrei changed it
later with this commit:

array.c:r1.43 (PHP array_multisort) Fix the array_size test.

Assigning to Andrei who should decide whether the reindexing should be done for 1 element arrays or not.

Yes, it might not a bug, rather a minor inconsistancy.
I must say I expected it to get reindexed as well.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
