is_array() is failing on what is clearly an array

[lkrubner@geocities.com]

This driving me crazy. I get an array. I use print_r() to prove to
myself it is an array. An array prints to the screen. The next line is
an is_array() test, and the code tests false and I get the error
message, "we could not find the array". What the hell?




$arrayOfFinalRe sultsForCommand s =
$this->controllerForA ll->includeFile("a rrayOfFinalResu ltsForCommands" ,
"arrayOfFinalRe sultsForCommand s", $command);
echo "<p>here is the array: ";
print_r($arrayO fFinalResultsFo rCommands);

if (is_array($arra yOfFinalResults ForCommands)) {

print_r(array() ); output:

Array
(
)

print_r(new stdClass); output:

stdClass Object
(
)

If you see something simular to the latter, test with is_object().
