#35470 [NEW]: Assigning global using variable name from array doesn't function

From: prgallier at yahoo dot com Operating system: Linux 2.6 PHP version: 5.1.1 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: Assigning global using variable name from array doesn't function Description: ------------ The below code does not store the value "55" in the variable "test" as it should, and did in PHP 5.0.5. Leaving out the global declaration allows the output to display properly. I have also had segmentation faults caused by similar routines, but have been unable to reproduce this outside of the full program. Reproduce code: --------------- $x = array("test", "55"); global ${$x[0]}; ${$x[0]} = $x[1]; echo "Test: $test<br>\n";; Expected result: ---------------- Displays: Test: Actual result: -------------- Should display: Test: 55 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35470&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=35470&r=mysqlcfg
