The same issue is with NULL values;
$a = NULL;
echo $a['b'];
...and nothing happen

Description:
------------
When trying to access an array using an undefined offset, PHP displays an
Notice.
However, when you access a boolean variable with any combination of the array
operator [], PHP just returns NULL and displays no error message.
Reproduce code:
---------------
error_reporting (E_ALL);
$a = false;
var_dump ($a[5]);
var_dump ($a['test'][-3]);
Expected result:
----------------
PHP should display a Notice or a Warning.
Actual result:
--------------
PHP displays
NULL NULL
