#30886 [NEW]: Issue E_STRICT errors for deprecated array notation for string char access

From: php-bugs-2004 at ryandesign dot com Operating system: N/A PHP version: 5.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: Issue E_STRICT errors for deprecated array notation for string char access 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 bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30886&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30886&r=mysqlcfg
