Trying to access this property as it will be an array (i.e. getting its index, which is obviously undefined), should generate a notice when E_STRICT is set - but it doesn't. Specifying the property type as array or adding other index generates notice as expected. Reproduce code: --------------- error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); class test { private $bla; public function __construct() { var_dump(empty($this->bla)); var_dump($this->bla['fff']); } } $x = new test(); Expected result: ---------------- bool(true) Notice: Undefined index: fff in [...] NULL Actual result: -------------- bool(true) NULL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42575&edit=1
