PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
Bug description: array index of type variant fail
Description:
------------
When using a variant (e.g. new VARIANT(3)) as an index for an array, it
generates "Warning: Illegal offset type". I looked around and not sure if
this is a bug or is expected behavior, but the only way to get around it is
to convert the variant into an integer (e.g sprintf).
In addition, print_r of the variant returns "variant Object #" as
explained in PHP Bug #35956. Bug #35956 states that downloading the
latest PHP solves the issue, however, the issue is still seen with the
latest php version.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$v = new VARIANT(3);
print "The value is " . $v . "<br/>";
$arry = array("first","second","third","fourth","fifth");
echo $arry[$v] . "<br/>"; // This does not work
echo print_r($v) . "<br/>"; // This does not work
$v = 3;
echo $arry[$v]. "<br/>"; // This works
$v = new VARIANT(3);
echo $arry[sprintf($v)]; // This works
?>
Expected result:
----------------
The value is 3
fourth
fourth
fourth
fourth
Actual result:
--------------
The value is 3
