That one seems to miss examples in the RFC as well. It might be useful to add those. Having said that, I am unsure as why I would want to see a way how isset/empty behave in either the "using offsets on non-container values" or "using invalid offset types" cases. These language constructs are often used as a guard in (albeit likely older *code*), and hence, this now throwing a warning doesn't really add anything for the developer. I'm also curious to know whether you or somebody else has checked what the effect of this change on existing code bases would be? cheers, Derick -- https://derickrethans.nl | https://xdebug.org | https://dram.io Author of Xdebug.
