See the difference between:
array("name"=>"value")
and
array("\'name\'"=>"value")

The strange behaviour consists in the fact of discrepancy between
results of print_r() procedure and a real condition of a variable.
In my sample print_r($arr) say:
Array ( ['name'] => Some text )
But in the next string, then I try to read $arr['name'] - PHP sayd "PHP
Notice: Undefined index: name in test.php..."
Imho there is no difference - bogus my bug or not, the most important
that I have got used to trust that results of print_r() procedure are
used for debugging and always give out unequivocal result. On this
example I have received a full refutation of my vision.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.
Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Description:
------------
I have found strange behaviour with PHP POST/GET arrays. With print_r()
command I have see all contents of array, but if I trying to access to
values of array directly - I have got errors.
I have test this code with:
php5.1.2
php5.2.0
php5.2-win32-200702041530
Apache2.0.58/win32/php5apache2.dll
Apache2.2.3/win32/php5apache2_2.dll
Apache2.2.4/win32/php5apache2_2.dll
And always I have same results.
In my php.ini:
register_globals = On
register_long_arrays = On
register_argc_argv = On
post_max_size = 512M
Reproduce code:
---------------
<form name="topics" method="post">
<input type="text" name="topic[1]['name']" value="Some text"><br/>
<button onclick="this.form.submit(true);">POST</button>
</form>
<?php
if (!isset($_POST['topic'])){
return false;
};
if (!is_array($_POST['topic'])){
return false;
};
foreach ($_POST['topic'] as $topic_id=>$arr){
print_r($arr);
if (!isset($arr['name'])){
echo "<br/>\r\nERROR! NAME field is not set!\r\n";
continue;
};
echo 'OK.';
};
?>
Expected result:
----------------
OK.
Actual result:
--------------
ERROR! NAME field is not set!
