1.2.843. No Spread For Hash¶
The spread operator ... used to work only on integer-indexed arrays. This limitation was removed in PHP 8.1 and more recent.
<?php
// This is valid, as ``"-33"`` is cast to integer by PHP automagically
var_dump(...[1,"-33" => 2, 3]);
// This is not valid
var_dump(...[1,"C" => 2, 3]);
?>
