PHP version: Irrelevant
PHP Bug Type: Arrays related
Bug description: ambiguity of $$arrayref[0] []operator too strong
Description:
------------
$$c is an array
$$c[0] is not defined
($$c)[0] is a syntax error
There seems not way to directly access the content of a
referenced array.
My PHP version is 4.3.4-4 of Debian unstable
Reproduce code:
---------------
$tmp=array("hello world");
$c="tmp";
$a=$$c; # works
echo $a[0]; # works
echo ($$c)[0]; # should work
echo {$$c}[0]; # would not mind if this was an alternative
Expected result:
----------------
"tmp"
Actual result:
--------------
syntax error
