Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.array-product#refsect1-function.array-product-examples
---

I think there is a mistake in the example on that page as the following:

echo "product(array()) = " . array_product(array()) . "\n";

will display:
product(array()) = 0 

not:
product(array()) = 1

r306288 changed this behaviour. As of 5.3.6 array_product returns 1, as expected.

A warning should be added to the documentation for versions before 5.3.6.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

Fixed in rev329577.
