ID: 31303 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: schmad at miller-group dot net -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Mac OS X 10.3.7 PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment:
This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. I believe it is already documented in Backward Incompatible Changes under Migrating from PHP 4 to PHP 5 in the sentence "Illegal use of string offsets causes E_ERROR instead of E_WARNING." However, I have added this to the String Type chapter: "However, this syntax is deprecated as of PHP 4 and produces fatal error in PHP 5."

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is expected, and not a bug. It doesn\'t make sense to do this at all either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-26 08:07:14] schmad at miller-group dot net Description: ------------ Using array functions on a string like count() or unset() results in fatal offset errors which were not encountered in 4.3.x code. Reproduce code: --------------- $link = 'bla'; unset($link['one']); //In 4.x: No Error $link = ''; count($link['two']); //In 4.x: No Error Expected result: ---------------- $link = 'bla'; unset($link['one']); //In 4.x: No Error $link = ''; count($link['two']); //In 4.x: No Error Actual result: -------------- $link = 'bla'; unset($link['one']); //Outputs: Fatal error: Cannot unset string offsets in ... $link = ''; count($link['two']); //Outputs: Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31303&edit=1
