Re: [PHP] PHP5 bloats the code

[Marek Kilimajer]

Hmm, this will certainly slow down PHP5 acceptance. I cannot imagine a 
hosting company that will upgrade to PHP5 and break so many client's 
applications.

Hi there,

i donīt know if this is the right place to ask but since there are a lot 
of cracks around i thought i throw this in here. actually i am using 
typo3 (www.typo3.org) a full-blown, extendable cm-framework that is 
based on php. so here is the problem:

typo3 very often uses a syntax like this:

is_array($TCA['pages']['columns']['title'])

but this will spawn an error in PHP5 that says, "$TCA['pages']" is not 
an array.

The solution would be
if (
    is_array($TCA['pages']) &&
    is_array($TCA['pages']['columns']) &&
    is_array($TCA['pages']['columns']['title']) )
actually that is really ugly code and would be hardly acceptable.

i dunno who to ask, but if that is a verified issue and this behaviour 
goes in the final php5 we had a lot of trouble  - so who can i ask to 
make it work "the old fashioned" way as well?
