Bug #15673 Updated: Quotes crash MySQL queries: $array['val'] = Parse Error, but $array[val] works

ID: 15673 Updated by: jpaulomf@terra.com.br -Summary: Quotes crash MySQL queries: $array['val'] = Parse Error, but $array[val] works Reported By: jpaulomf@terra.com.br Status: Closed Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: Linux 2.4.5 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Ok, but I think it should be seen as a BUG, since we cannot call the array as it should be and we are able to call it as it shouldn't. PHP is expected work with codes like: sql_query("SELECT * from $array['table']"); and its expected to (but doesnt have to) work with: sql_query("SELECT * from $array[table]"); and in such case its expected to give a warning... in both cases the behavior of 4.1.1 is buggy... Thanks for your time people! Best Regards João Paulo M.

No, there's no warning either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-22 08:25:33] jpaulomf@terra.com.br Yes, I know your code works, thats not the problem. Now change your own code: echo $foo[key]; ==to==> echo "Key value is $foo[key]"; // No warnings!!!!! And then TRY: echo "$foo['key']"; // PARSE ERROR!!! Does it happens with the cvs version? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-22 08:12:54] mfischer@php.net Work's right with CVS: $ php <? error_reporting(E_ALL); $foo['key'] = 'value'; echo $foo[key]; ?> X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.0-dev Content-type: text/html <br /> <b>Warning</b>: Use of undefined constant key - assumed 'key' in <b>-</b> on line <b>4</b><br /> -(4) : Warning - Use of undefined constant key - assumed 'key' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
