In PHP 5.4 this will output:
Warning: Illegal string offset 'foo' in /home/nikic/dev/test.php on line 4
Warning: Illegal string offset 'asdf' in /home/nikic/dev/test.php on line 4
Thus closing.

We are considering a new operator or internal function to take care of this
after PHP 5.0. A patch is here:
http://marcus-boerger.de/php/ext/ze2/ze2-ifsetor-20040416-4.diff.txt
Syntax: ifsetor( <var> [, <exp> ])
Semantic: check whether variable <var> exists and return it. If it not exists
evaluate expression <exp> which defaults to NULL and return that value instead.
Comment: <var> may also be an array subscription of any depth.

Description:
------------
$a = 'asdf';
echo is_array($a['foo']['asdf']);
is completly invalid, unfortunatly many applications deal with the fact that
some offsets simply "may" not exist.
workaround would be
if (isset($a['foo']['asdf']) &&
is_array($a['foo']['asdf']) {
....
but this would bloat the code a lot
Reproduce code:
---------------
// /* E_ERROR Invalid offset */
$a = 'asdf';
echo is_array($a['foo']['asdf']);
Expected result:
----------------
an E_WARNING instead of E_ERROR which is suppressable
Actual result:
--------------
E_ERROR
