Description:
------------
When using array_merge to merge 2 arrays, the order
of elements of the first are changed. The keys are all integers unlike other existing bugs where keys are mixed integers and strings.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
    $string1 = "1|Text|0-0-0-0-0-0-0";
    list ($arr1[0], $arr1[1], $string2) = explode ("|", $string1, 3);

    print ("Values of arr1 after first explode...\n");
    for ($i = 0; $i < count ($arr1); $i++)
        print ("arr1[$i] = " . $arr1[$i] . "\n");

    print ("\nValues of arr1 after second explode...\n");
    $arr1 = array_merge ($arr1, explode ('-', $string2));
    for ($i = 0; $i < count ($arr1); $i++)
        print ("arr1[$i] = " . $arr1[$i] . "\n");
?>
~

Expected result:
----------------
arr1[0] = 1
arr1[1] = Text
arr1[2] = 0
arr1[3] = 0
arr1[4] = 0
arr1[5] = 0
arr1[6] = 0
arr1[7] = 0
arr1[8] = 0

Actual result:
--------------
arr1[0] = Text
arr1[1] = 1
arr1[2] = 0
arr1[3] = 0
arr1[4] = 0
arr1[5] = 0
arr1[6] = 0
arr1[7] = 0
arr1[8] = 0

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Works just fine. I've replaced your print code with 
print_r(), which shows the correct order and here is what 
you get: 
 
Array 
( 
    [1] => Text 
    [0] => 1 
) 
Array 
( 
    [0] => Text 
    [1] => 1 
    [2] => 0 
    [3] => 0 
    [4] => 0 
    [5] => 0 
    [6] => 0 
    [7] => 0 
    [8] => 0 
)

Please see the index in your output. The first output shows array[1] before array[0]. I think it should be top priority as it is changing the array elments under you and you don't expect that. It's a random behaviour. 

Thanks.

The problem is fixed in PHP5, however it cannot be 
addressed in PHP 4 and hence marked won't fix.
