The problem is that the string is not actually overwritten by the array. I thought that was clear from the sample code! Doesn't seem like a feature if the array isn't overwritten. Perhaps I should have titled = "String is not properly overwritten " ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-27 14:54:23] tony2001@php.net $string[0] = 'c'; is perfectly valid code and that's what you get with $string['otherstring']. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-27 14:53:23] derick@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug.
