I understand that it's valid in PHP to overwrite the string with an
array. The problem is that the string is not actually overwritten by
the array. I thought that was clear from the sample code!
Doesn't seem like a feature if the array isn't overwritten. Perhaps I
should have titled = "String is not properly overwritten "

$string[0] = 'c'; is perfectly valid code and that's what you get with
$string['otherstring'].

Description:
The error is caused by a user error, but I believe PHP should be
throwing an error. PHP is not strongly typed, but I thought you get a
warning if you try to convert a string to an array.
Sorry I am not in 5.1.6
Reproduce code:
---
/**
* Output for me
* PHP version 5.1.4
* Array ( [name] => 2alue )
*
* */
function array_bug()
{
echo "PHP version ". phpversion().'';
$test_array = array();
$test_array['name'] = 'value';
$test_array['name']['count'] = 2;
print_r($test_array);
}
array_bug(); exit;
Expected result:
I would expect an error or warning
Actual result:
--
Array ( [name] => 2alue )
--
