'name' isn't an offset, I know array != object but I've no idea why you think this would be a bad idea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-04-06 06:28:16] nikic@php.net Won't happen. offset != property, array != object. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-04-05 21:44:17] olafvdspek at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Could you support the property access syntax -> for associative arrays? This would make the syntax slightly simpler and it'd save notices like: "Use of undefined constant name - assumed 'name' in /home/olaf/a.php on line 4" Test script: --------------- $v['name'] = 'Olaf'; echo $v->name; Actual result: -------------- Olaf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67030&edit=1
