From: a dot dotreppe at aspyct dot org Operating system: Windows Vista 32bit PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Can use any scalar as an array
Description: ------------ Hi I just noticed that any scalar type could be used as an array. This could be source of a long list of undetectable bugs. Should this be considered as a bug ? Except for strings, that should be indexable. But then, only with numeric indexes, not strings (that are anyway evaluated to 0). Reproduce code: --------------- $value = false; var_dump($value['hello']); $value = 4; var_dump($value['hello']); $value = 74.6; var_dump($value['hello']); $value = 'hello'; var_dump($value['hello']); Expected result: ---------------- Some Fatal error, something brutal that will halt the script. Actual result: -------------- NULL NULL NULL string(1) "h" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49264&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49264&r=mysqlcfg
