PHP version: 5.0.0RC2
PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: Operator $x[$y] behavior is incorrect
Description:
------------
Why does operator [] create a new array when applied on boolean FALSE and
doesn't do so when applied on integer 0? One of that is IMHO wrong.
Either this operator should create a new array on everything that is
empty() or it should fail on all scalar types and make a new array only
from empty string "" or NULL or uninitialized variable.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$a = 0;
$a[10] = 1;
var_dump($a);
$b = false;
$b[10] = 1;
var_dump($b);
Expected result:
----------------
Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array ...
Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array ...
Actual result:
--------------
array(1) {
[10]=>
int(1)
}
Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array ...
