Description: ------------ If referencing an associative array key on a string (which we shouldn't be doing, obviously), it seems to make the key equal 0, and consequently returns the first character of the string. I expected this to return NULL. Reproduce code: --------------- $string = 'This is a string!'; var_dump($string['key']); Expected result: ---------------- NULL Actual result: -------------- 'T' -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30488&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30488&r=mysqlcfg
