Bug description: eval
Description:
------------
I have a variable called $config['sold_email_winner_message'], which has
an emal message template stored in the variable. Within this email
message, i have information like:
Dear $winner_info[first_name] $winner_info[last_name],
Congrates...
I use eval to evaluate the string. One thing I noticed is that the
following doesn't work
$winner_info['first_name'] $winner_info['last_name'], but
$winner_info[first_name] $winner_info[last_name] does work.
One would think that these should be interchangeable.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$winner_info = array ('first_name' => "First", 'last_name' => "Last");
This doesn't work:
$config['sold_email_winner_message'] = "Dear $winner_info['first_name']
$winner_info['last_name']";
eval ("\$config[sold_email_winner_message] =
\"$config[sold_email_winner_message]\";");
This does work:
$config['sold_email_winner_message'] = "Dear $winner_info[first_name]
$winner_info[last_name]";
eval ("\$config[sold_email_winner_message] =
\"$config[sold_email_winner_message]\";");
Expected result:
----------------
This will print the following:
Dear First Last
Actual result:
--------------
This will print the following:
Dear $winner_info['first_name'] $winner_info['last_name']
