From: matteosistisette at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.4.15 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:"array to string conversion" notice should contain more information
Description: ------------ The "Array to string conversion" notice message should at the very least include the name of the array variable that is being converted to string. A line of code may contain a lot of variables, so figuring out which one is the unexpected array can be a pain in the ass. Even the backtrace won't contain enough information since it only gives the line but not the position within the line. Test script: --------------- $string1="foo"; $string2="bar"; $string3=array("Whoops, this is an array"); $string4="bla bla"; echo $string1.$string2.$string3.$string4. Expected result: ---------------- PHP NOTICE at /path/to/file.php (6): Array to string conversion for variable 'string3' Actual result: -------------- PHP NOTICE at /path/to/file.php (6): Array to string conversion -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64955&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64955&r=mysqlcfg
