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
I think you should use
function foo() { $arrFoo = array(); $arrFoo[] = "foo"; return $arrFoo; }
$arrFoo[] = "foo" expression result a "foo" as tmp result... so..

Description:
------------
If you try within a return construct to attach a variable to an array, the
array will be overwriten by the value you tried to attach to it. Because the
following examples work, it should also work with test script due to
consistency.
$ php -r 'function foo() { $intNumber = 0; return $intNumber + 1 + 2; }
var_dump(foo());'
int(3)
$ php -r 'function bar() { $strText = "foo"; return $strText . "bar"; }
var_dump(bar());'
string(6) "foobar"
Test script:
---------------
$ php -r 'function foo() { $arrFoo = array(); return $arrFoo[] = "foo"; }
var_dump(foo());'
Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(3) "foo"
}
Actual result:
--------------
string(3) "foo"
