PHP 4.0 Bug #3286 Updated: strtoupper bug

ID: 3286 Updated by: zeev Reported By: david@deus.dk Status: Closed Bug Type: Misbehaving function Assigned To: Comments: Actually writing to string offsets is supported. The code supplied just doesn't make much sense... Why do you have both $content and $content_test? <?php $content = "test"; $content[0] = strtoupper($content[0]); echo $content; ?> works fine. In your example, you modify $content_test, and seem to expect $content to be changed as well. Since $content and $content_test aren't references to each other, that doesn't happen. You can make them references instead of copies by using $content_test = &$content; instead of the standard assignment you used. Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/version4/?id=3286
