From: thuejk at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Trying to access the index of an integer should throw a warning
Description: ------------ Trying to access the index of an integer is not a well-defined operation IMO, having no reasonable meaning. In practice in PHP, it seems to simply return null in all cases. I accidentally accessed an integer which I thought was a string. Because no error was returned it took me some time to track down the problem. Therefore, I suggest that trying to access an index on an integer should throw an E_NOTICE or E_WARNING. Reproduce code: --------------- error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); $a = 1234; //This will print "", with no error raised. echo '"'.$a[0].'"'; Expected result: ---------------- An E_NOTICE or E_WARNING. Actual result: -------------- No error raised -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39915&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39915&r=mysqlcfg
