ID: 41687 Updated by: scottmac@php.net Reported By: dr dot diesel at seznam dot cz -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: Win XP PHP Version: 5.2.3 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. $$arrname[0] becomes $m since $arname[0] is the first character of $arname.
