Operating system: Debian GNU/Linux
PHP version: 4.3.4
PHP Bug Type: Variables related
Bug description: give notice when storing to an undefined array
Description:
------------
When the left-hand-side of an assignment expression is an array location
using square-brackets, PHP should check that the array variable was
previously defined, and give a notice if E_NOTICE is flagged in
error_reporting.
This would find mistyped variables, and help with those attempting to
write more stable and secure PHP code with E_ALL.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$not_an_array_yet[1] = 'a' . "\n";
exit("done\n");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Notice: Undefined variable: not_an_array_yet in my_file.php on line 3
done
Actual result:
--------------
done
