Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-27 15:34:44] tony2001@php.net # php -r '$s = "string"; $s[0] = 3; var_dump($s);' string(6) "3tring" This is expected behaviour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-27 15:34:04] hendlerman at yahoo dot com edit title ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-27 15:32:43] hendlerman at yahoo dot com Changing title and re-opening so it gets reviewed again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-09-27 15:14:18] hendlerman at yahoo dot com I understand that it's valid in PHP to overwrite the string with an array. 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']. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
