Description:
------------
If you define variable as NULL and then you want to acces it over keys as array
like $array['kolo'] then PHP should trigger a strict error and not return the NULL.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$array = null;
var_dump($array['kolo']);
/*
Expected result:
PHP strict error
Actual result:
NULL
*/
Expected result:
----------------
Expected is PHP strict error.
Actual result:
--------------
NULL
