I didn't try it, but I think that will not work, because it's not the 
is_array-function giving an error, but the usage of an uninitialized 
array. Therefore the @ in front of the array.
Hm -- I'm too curious, I will try it, one moment...

Ok, you are right, it works with the @ in front of is_array! :-)
BTW I don't get an error but only a notice when I use an uninitialised 
array...

Sorry, I re-read Kaspers message: error only occours if $a['a'] in the 
example above is a variable i.e.
   $a['a'] = 'hello'
but not an array. This happens here, too. :-(
You CAN suppress the error in this case, but then PHP "dies" silently 
instead; in my example it wouldn't show anything.
It's also not possible to use the new exception handling. Perhaps it 
would be possible to convince the PHP coders to convert the error to a 
non "fatal" one, so error handling/suppression would be possible.

Sorry that I couldn't help further,
