Point was, maybe there is a reason this was not implemented. And btw, this is a bug as 'foo' is defined yet the error says it's not. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 13:45:54] [EMAIL PROTECTED] this patch fixes that feature request/bug as well ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 13:43:05] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Allowing it would be nice but this topic has come up many times. Not sure why it's not been implemented though, maybe there are reasons? I forget them. One feature request for this: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15677 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 13:25:11] [EMAIL PROTECTED] patch up at http://www2.omniti.com/~george/ zend.patch.2002012101 patch allows for "$arr['foo']" to be parsed correctly (this seems better than disallowing it) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 09:19:20] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21820&edit=1
