Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP.

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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44914&edit=1
