PHP Bug Type: *General Issues
Bug description: Assigning global using variable name from array doesn't
function
Description:
------------
The below code does not store the value "55" in the variable "test" as it
should, and did in PHP 5.0.5. Leaving out the global declaration allows
the output to display properly. I have also had segmentation faults
caused by similar routines, but have been unable to reproduce this outside
of the full program.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$x = array("test", "55");
global ${$x[0]};
${$x[0]} = $x[1];
echo "Test: $test<br>\n";;
Expected result:
----------------
Displays:
Test:
Actual result:
--------------
Should display:
Test: 55
