When using cascading assignments to strings and curly braces, to change
characters within strings, only the last character is changed to the
right value. Other characters become NUL (0x00).
<?
$wrong = $correct = 'abcdef';
$correct{1} = '*';
$correct{3} = '*';
$correct{5} = '*';
// This produces the
$wrong{1} = $wrong{3} = $wrong{5} = '*';
echo $correct."\n".$wrong."\n\n";
echo urlencode($correct)."\n"."\n".urlencode($wrong)."\n";
?>
The resulting output is:
a*c*e*
ace*
a%2Ac%2Ae%2A
a%00c%00e%2A
I also tested it on a old PHP 4.2.0-dev, and it gives the same result.
