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
