This bug needs to be fixed ASAP. The fact that PHP 7 doesn't throw error when trying to access
a null or numeric value as an associative array with string index is bit outdated. It should first
check if the value is array, and throw error if accessing non-array as an array.

Description:
------------
null assignment to a variable and refer to it as an array element does not return any errors
after assign null to variable var_dump return null and isset return false, but why in line 5 assign
first element of $zonk variable(which is don't array and don't should exists at all) to
next variable doesnt't return any errors
Test script:
---------------
$zonk = null; //1
var_dump($zonk); //2 return null
var_dump(isset($zonk)); //3 return false
$beret = $zonk[0]; //5 don't throw nothing ???
var_dump($beret); //6 return null
var_dump(isset($beret)); //7 return false
Expected result:
----------------
is line 6 don't should throw something to output error or notice?
or if it is good behavior then in line 3 isset should return true?
or if i'm wrong explain why? becouse i can't figured it out
