From: Operating system: All PHP version: 5.2.14 Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Bug Bug description:String index access on empty string converts to array
Description: ------------ The title/code says it all. Once a variable is a string, using array access should mean char access, but this is not maintained for empty strings, while it's maintained for non-empty strings. Test script: --------------- $a = ''; // empty string $a[10] = 'a'; echo $a; // "Array" $b = ' '; // non empty string $b[10] = 'b'; echo $b; // " b" Expected result: ---------------- " a" " b" Actual result: -------------- "Array" " b" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53432&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53432&r=mysqlcfg
