From: Operating system: linux, osx, (any?) PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Arrays related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:inconsistency using uninitialized array elements
Description: ------------ While I agree that it would be better to actually initialize elements before using them, it is anyway wrong that they behave in inconsistent ways when you do that. They should BOTH count as 0, hence become 1 and -1, OR they should **BOTH** stay NULL. It does not make any sense at all to have them behave in two different ways. Test script: --------------- $pitale=array(); $pitale["ok"]++; $pitale["bug"]--; print_r($pitale); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [ok] => 1 [bug] => -1 ) ---OR--- Array ( [ok] => [bug] => ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [ok] => 1 [bug] => ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51412&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51412&r=mysqlcfg
