I understand that it's valid in PHP to overwrite the string with an
array. The problem is that the string is not actually overwritten by
the array. I thought that was clear from the sample code!
Doesn't seem like a feature if the array isn't overwritten. Perhaps I
should have titled = "String is not properly overwritten "

$string[0] = 'c'; is perfectly valid code and that's what you get with
$string['otherstring'].
