Can you try latest RC http://www.php.net/~zeev/php-4.1.0RC3.tar.gz Feedback.

As I said before, removing the exclamation mark in the key fixes the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-21 10:08:25] mfischer@php.net Works for me on 4.0.6 , Linux. Please give the shortest reproduceable script. Feedback. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-21 10:04:02] davidfelton@codemasters.com if you have an array where the key is a string like $arrayname["a string here!"]. You will not be able to pull the value for that key from the array. Removing the exclamation mark in the key fixes this bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14160&edit=1
