note 86273 added to function.array-push

A function which mimics push() from perl, perl lets you push an array to an array: push(@array, @array2, @array3). This function mimics that behaviour.

<?php

function array_push_array(&$arr) {
    $args = func_get_args();
    array_shift($args);

    if (!is_array($arr)) {
        trigger_error(sprintf("%s: Cannot perform push on something that isn't an array!", __FUNCTION__), E_USER_WARNING);
        return false;
    }

    foreach($args as $v) {
        if (is_array($v)) {
            if (count($v) > 0) {
                array_unshift($v, &$arr);
                call_user_func_array('array_push',  $v);
            }
        } else {
            $arr[] = $v;
        }
    }
    return count($arr);
}

$arr = array(0);
$arr2  = array(6,7,8);
printf("%s\n", array_push_array($arr, array(),array(1,2,3,4,5), $arr2));
print_r($arr);

# error.. 
$arr = "test";
printf("%s\n", array_push_array($arr, array(),array(1,2,3,4,5), $arr2));

?>
