I've take a look at assert.c. 
assert() expects string to eval. So I guess if it doesn't work with object property, 
it would be okay. 

Document does not explain string must be a valid PHP code, so I changed this report to 
documentation problem.

According to the manual, assert() accepts string or boolean. However, it seems 
assert() does handle string type well, especially if it's a class property. (Parse 
error) Either PHP or the manual page is wrong.

Following code does not work well.

== code #1 ==
<?php
class A 
{
        var $name = 'class A';

        function print_name() 
        {
                assert($this->name);
                print $this->name;
        }
        
}
$obj1 = new A;
$obj1->print_name();
?>== result #1 ==

$str1 = '';
$str2 = 'abc';

assert($str1);
assert($str2);
?>

$arr = array('abc');

assert($arr['abc']);
?>
== result #3 ==
