New Comment:
This behavior isn't limited to [] either, {} is affected the same way.
But anyway, using unset() on strings like this has no use whatsoever.
An example has now been added to migration5.xml so this bug is closed.

Reverted, sorry. I'm not sure where to add this piece of information so
I'm leaving this bug open for someone else :-).

Yep, please revert the change at 'language.types.string'.
PHP 5 only causes a fatal error whith 'unset($string["a"]);'

You changed the wrong thing, $string[0] still works.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ php -r '$foo = "abc"; var_dump($foo[0]);'
string(1) "a"
Also, the second example doesn't seem to produce a fatal error.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ php -r '$link = ""; var_dump(count($link["two"]));'
Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in Command line code on line 1
int(1)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ php -v

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."
