ID: 64444 Updated by: [email protected] Reported by: koushky at gmail dot com Summary: Use of quantitative scalar as array. -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Variables related Operating System: ubuntu 12.10 PHP Version: 5.3.23 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: 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. The 'array access' syntax only works for arrays and strings, strings also got curly braces: $str{0} to access a certain byte index in that string. So yes, this is intended, as the behavior for usage on other types are undefined.
