From: sgalonska at studivz dot net Operating system: UNIX PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: Array index access with invalid keys on strings without consequences
Description: ------------ It is allowed to access a string the same way as an array. So it is obvious to imply that using numeric indexes is the only way to achieve that goal. Unfortunately access over alphanumeric keys is also possible. In that case, PHP converts them into 0. This behavior seems to be a bug since no notice or error is risen. Reproduce code: --------------- $string = 'abcdefghijk'; print $string[0] . PHP_EOL; print $string['foo'] . PHP_EOL; Expected result: ---------------- a <some error about wrong access mode or invalid index> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44914&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44914&r=mysqlcfg
