one *could* expect that it understood this,
that's what my feature request is about,
but "PHP is expected" is not right

no, this is the current and expected behavior
no warning is generated here as no define() substitution
is done in strings

> in both cases the behavior of 4.1.1 is buggy...
it has been like this ever since 3.0, so you can't
call this 'buggy', call it 'unexpected  behaviour',
'inconsistent design' or whatever, but it is not
a bug ...

Ok, but I think it should be seen as a BUG, since we cannot call the
array as it should be and we are able to call it as it shouldn't.

PHP is expected work with codes like:
sql_query("SELECT * from $array['table']"); 

and its expected to (but doesnt have to) work with:
sql_query("SELECT * from $array[table]");
and in such case its expected to give a warning...

in both cases the behavior of 4.1.1 is buggy...

Thanks for your time people!
Best Regards

i'll close this here and create a feature request
for "$array['index']" to be possible or for a better
error message at least ...

And the Parse Error, do you get it with the cvs ver too?

Ah, I see. No, there's no warning either.

Yes, I know your code works, thats not the problem.

Now change your own code:

echo $foo[key];  ==to==> echo "Key value is $foo[key]"; // No
warnings!!!!!

And then TRY:
echo "$foo['key']"; // PARSE ERROR!!!

Does it happens with the cvs version?
