Test script: --------------- <?php $test = array('string' =>array('foo')); var_export($test); ?> Expected result: ---------------- array ( 'string' =>// <= the line should end with '=>', and not with a space e.g '=> ' array ( 0 => 'foo', ), ) Actual result: -------------- array ( 'string' => // <= there's a space after the '=>' symbol array ( 0 => 'foo', ), ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60050&edit=1
