Doc #77323 [NEW]: Since 7.1 $var[] = 'entry'; throws Fatal. This is unclear in the docs.
From: powtac at gmx dot de
Operating system: linux
PHP version: 7.1.25
Package: Documentation problem
Bug Type: Documentation Problem
Bug description:Since 7.1 $var[] = 'entry'; throws Fatal. This is unclear in the docs.
Description:
------------
---
From manual page: https://php.net/function.array-push
---
Despite the note in the documentation "Note: array_push() will raise a
warning if the first argument is not an array. This differs from the
$var[] behaviour where a new array is created.", this is not correct
for PHP >= 7.1 where a Fatal Error is thrown when the variable is a
empty string.
See https://3v4l.org/SPBA6
Test script:
---------------
$var = '';
$var[] = 'make me an array';
Expected result:
----------------
According to the docs a new array should be created.
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in
/in/SPBA6:5 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /in/SPBA6 on line 5
Process exited with code 255.
