PHP 4.0 Bug #10395 Updated: $array[] with no subscript will not return any data

ID: 10395 User Update by: roel@2e-systems.com Status: Closed Bug Type: *General Issues Description: $array[] with no subscript will not return any data I have tried it on both 4.0.4pl1 and 4.0.3pl1, on 4.0.5devel from halfway february, and 4.0.5devel from today's cvs; on 3 different machines, all with all error reporting turned on. If I change the test script to have a non-existing string as index(echo "this is a test: " . $pr['test'];), I get: Test. Warning: Undefined variable: pr in /home/roel/test/test2.php on line 5 this is a test: which would not appear if I would have error-reporting turned off. And even if I would have error_reporting turned off, php should display the rest of the page(the Test.) in this case), no? The relevant part from my php.ini: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Error handling and logging ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; error_reporting is a bit-field. Add each number up to get desired error reporting level ; 1 = Normal errors ; 2 = Normal warnings ; 4 = Parser errors ; 8 = Notices - warnings you can ignore, but sometimes imply a bug (e.g., using an uninitialized variable) error_reporting = 15 display_errors = On ; Print out errors (as a part of the HTML script) log_errors = On ; Log errors into a log file (server-specific log, stderr, or error_log (below)) track_errors = Off ; Store the last error/warning message in $php_errormsg (boolean) error_prepend_string = "<font color=ff0000>" ; string to output before an error message error_append_string = "</font>" ; string to output after an error message error_log = /tmp/php-errors ; log errors to specified file ; error_log = syslog ; log errors to syslog (Event Log on NT, not valid in Windows 95) warn_plus_overloading = Off ; warn if the + operator is used with strings Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-19 06:51:45] hholzgra@php.net i get Fatal error: Cannot use [] for reading ... you should check your error_reporting settings --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-19 06:21:12] roel@2e-systems.com If you try to use an array without a subscript, no data will be send back to the browser. Netscape will say 'document contained no data'; Galeon will display an empty page. The following script illustrates: *********8<************ Test. <?php echo "this is a test: " . $pr[]; ?> *********8<************ This should imo return at least the first line, then 'this is a test', and then a warning that $pr[] is invalid. Configure line (although I think it's not relevant): './configure' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-mysql' '--enable-trans-sid' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-mcrypt' '--enable-shmop' My php.ini is a bit long to paste here, mail me if needed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10395
