From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: PHP version: 4.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: bc break in parser
I don't think this is a bug, but someone sent it to me via email, so I'm proxy-submitting: Hello George- I stumbled upon a serious bug in the string parser and it goes something like this: $arr = array('foo' => 'bar'); print "$arr['foo']"; This used to provide a parse error but now instead we get this one of level E_NOTICE: Notice: Undefined index: 'foo' in /tmp/a.php on line 4 /tmp/a.php(4) : Notice - Undefined index: 'foo' This is a serious problem as it moved an error from parse to E_NOTICE, fails silently as most have error reporting turned down, shows a misleading error as foo is defined, and breaks BC. Tested latest 4_3 HEAD (4.3.1-dev). I would try php5 but I get segfault when trying to compile/use it :) Have a nice day, Philip Olson cc: derick -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21820&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21820&r=gnused
