Operating system: Linux
PHP version:      5.3.1
PHP Bug Type:     Scripting Engine problem
Bug description:  Expected warnings/notices not outputed by PHP on simple array access.

Description:
------------
When accessing a variable containing a boolean, integer, floating point,
or null value using square bracket syntax, no warning or notice is
generated (even if the array index could not exist if the type was silently
juggled into a string or array). This occurs even with E_STRICT turned on.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

error_reporting( -1 );

$x = "string";
print( $x[9] );

$x = array(1, 2, 3);
print( $x[9] );

$x = false;
print( $x[9] );

$x = 3;
print( $x[9] );

$x = 3.01;
print( $x[9] );

$x = null;
print( $x[9] );

$x = new StdClass();
print( $x[9] );

?>


Expected result:
----------------
PHP Notice:  Uninitialized string offset: 9 in /tmp/test.php on line 6
PHP Notice:  Undefined offset: 9 in /tmp/test.php on line 9
[A notice or warning for line 12]
[A notice or warning for line 15]
[A notice or warning for line 18]
[A notice or warning for line 21]
PHP Fatal error:  Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in
/tmp/test.php on line 24


Actual result:
--------------
PHP Notice:  Uninitialized string offset: 9 in /tmp/test.php on line 6
PHP Notice:  Undefined offset: 9 in /tmp/test.php on line 9
PHP Fatal error:  Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in
/tmp/test.php on line 24
