ID: 40354 User updated by: andreyra at chtivo dot ru Reported By: andreyra at chtivo dot ru -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: Windows 2003 Server PHP Version: 5.2.0 New Comment:
The strange behaviour consists in the fact of discrepancy between results of print_r() procedure and a real condition of a variable. In my sample print_r($arr) say: Array ( ['name'] => Some text ) But in the next string, then I try to read $arr['name'] - PHP sayd "PHP Notice: Undefined index: name in test.php..." Imho there is no difference - bogus my bug or not, the most important that I have got used to trust that results of print_r() procedure are used for debugging and always give out unequivocal result. On this example I have received a full refutation of my vision.

With print_r() command I have see all contents of array, but if I trying to access to values of array directly - I have got errors. I have test this code with: php5.1.2 php5.2.0 php5.2-win32-200702041530 Apache2.0.58/win32/php5apache2.dll Apache2.2.3/win32/php5apache2_2.dll Apache2.2.4/win32/php5apache2_2.dll And always I have same results. In my php.ini: register_globals = On register_long_arrays = On register_argc_argv = On post_max_size = 512M Reproduce code: --------------- <form name="topics" method="post"> <input type="text" name="topic[1]['name']" value="Some text"><br/> <button onclick="this.form.submit(true);">POST</button> </form> <?php if (!isset($_POST['topic'])){ return false; }; if (!is_array($_POST['topic'])){ return false; }; foreach ($_POST['topic'] as $topic_id=>$arr){ print_r($arr); if (!isset($arr['name'])){ echo "<br/>\r\nERROR! NAME field is not set!\r\n"; continue; }; echo 'OK.'; }; ?> Expected result: ---------------- OK. Actual result: -------------- ERROR! NAME field is not set! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40354&edit=1
