Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-24 19:35:33] php-bugs-2004 at ryandesign dot com Description: ------------ The E_STRICT option purports to issue warnings when using deprecated features. I would like to see warnings issued when using the array notation of accessing characters in a string, since this has been deprecated since PHP 4 and can cause problems ( as seen in http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29271 ) Reproduce code: --------------- $test = 'blah'; $test[2] = 'x'; // <-- would like this to issue // an error of type 2048 Expected result: ---------------- $test == 'blxh' and an error that the array notation is deprecated, use {} notation instead Actual result: -------------- $test == 'blxh' and no error of any kind ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30886&edit=1
