PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related
Bug description: Property name must be a string
Description:
------------
The rules for property names are inconsistent.
See comments in submitted code.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
// this is ok
$a->{"x"} = 1;
// fatal error:
$a->{18.5} = 1;
// fatal error:
$a->{1} = 1;
// but this one passes thru:
$a->{true} = 1;
// so do this:
$a->{18.5} = 1;
// and this too:
$a->{1} = 1;
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Either convert floats, integers and booleans to strings automatically or
report fatal error in all cases when property name is not a string (i.e.
if it is object, array, resource, boolean, integer, float, NULL).
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Property name must be a string ...
