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 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-18 18:57:43] rharrell at imagiclab dot com Description: ------------ If a variable is set to a string and isset() is used to check an array key for that variable it returns true. Reproduce code: --------------- $var="foo"; if(isset($var['ed'])) { //why are we in this section if $var is a string? if(is_array($var)) { // This doesn't happen echo "It's an array"; } else { // And yet this returns "f" echo $var['ed']; } } Expected result: ---------------- I would expect isset to return false; Actual result: -------------- isset returns true, because a check for any associative array index for the var will return the first character. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43889&edit=1
