Status: Open
Bug Type: Arrays related
Operating System: Windows XP
PHP Version: 5.2.5
New Comment:
At least this is my understanding from the Array documentation which
states: Converting NULL to an array results in an empty array.
If this is the case and the NULL is converted to an empty array, should
PHP not display a notice for the undefined index.

Description:
------------
Accessing a null value as an array does not produce an error or even a
warning. It resolves to null and the script continues.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$foo = null;
echo "Foo: {$foo['bar']}";
$foo = array();
echo "Foo: {$foo['bar']}";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Notice: Undefined index: bar in c:\test\test.php on line 4
Foo:
Notice: Undefined index: bar in c:\test\test.php on line 7
Foo:
Actual result:
--------------
Foo:
Notice: Undefined index: bar in c:\test\test.php on line 7
Foo:
