Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80234&edit=1 ID: 80234 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: david at grudl dot com Summary: user-defined error handler and string numeric keys in $errcontext Status: Open -Type: Bug +Type: Documentation Problem Package: Scripting Engine problem PHP Version: 7.4.11 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: > Array $context passed to custom error handler is non-standard > because contains string numeric keys. Well, get_defined_vars() has the same behavior[1] (and maybe others as well), and generally this may happen when casting objects to array prior to PHP 7.2.0[2]. It might be worthwhile to address the future scope section of the respective RFC[3], but I'm changing to doc problem for now.

Example: https://3v4l.org/BR04H Because $context is deprecated, there is no need to fix it, I just wanted to document it. Test script: --------------- <?php set_error_handler(function ($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline, $errcontext) { var_dump($context); }); $a = 1; $$a = 2; Expected result: ---------------- array(3) { [1]=> int(2), ... } Actual result: -------------- array(3) { ["1"]=> int(2), ... } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80234&edit=1
