ID: 51794 Updated by: dtajchre...@php.net Reported by: schmunk at usrbin dot de Summary: String keys in arrays are treated as 0, if not set -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Arrays related Operating System: OS X 10.6 PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php "Warning Writing to an out of range offset pads the string with spaces. Non-integer types are converted to integer. Illegal offset type emits E_NOTICE. Negative offset emits E_NOTICE in write but reads empty string. Only the first character of an assigned string is used. Assigning empty string assigns NUL byte."

But the variable I accessed was no array, but a string. As stated in the manual you can access single chars by numeric array keys, which makes perfect sense. But if I try to use a string it is treated as 0 (zero). Too much type jugglin'? Test script: --------------- <?php $link = "foo"; echo $link['bar']; ?> Expected result: ---------------- PHP NOTICE - $link['bar'] is not defined. Actual result: -------------- f ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51794&edit=1
