Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
Operating System: win32 XP
PHP Version: 5.0.0RC2
New Comment:
Seems that there is one more 'hidden' char at the end of strings when
accessing by index (probably \0 ?).
This must show false, but it's true:
<?
$word = 'a';
var_dump(empty($word{1}));
?>

Description:
------------
dunno how to describe , simply put the code below on 4.3.4 / 4.3.5
gives (my) expected answer of '12'
on 5.0.0.b4 && RC2 the answer is '13'
unsure which is the correct behaviour ;)
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$word = 'Encyclopedia';
$x = 0;
while (!empty($word[$x])){
$x++;
}
echo "The word <b>$word</b> has $x characters in it.";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
The word Encyclopedia has 12 characters in it.
Actual result:
--------------
The word Encyclopedia has 13 characters in it.
