#48183 [Bgs]: access to associative array element by key

ID: 48183 User updated by: foolged at inbox dot ru Reported By: foolged at inbox dot ru Status: Bogus Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: windows xp sp3 PHP Version: 5.2.9 New Comment: I understand that you want to say that this is a consequence of recourse to the string as to the array: $ a = array ( 'id' => 'zxy'); echo $ a [ 'id'] [1]; // x But such behavior should be when using a numeric key, in the case of associative keys should be an error (an element with key 'BUG' not found). PHP cast string 'BUG' to int 0 and returns $a['id'][0], it is logical to you?
