Doc #52254 [NEW]: string accessor deprecation

From: Operating system: all PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:string accessor deprecation Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration53.deprecated.php says: "The use of {} to access string offsets is deprecated. Use [] instead." But in the source code this deprecation does not exists neither in the PHP_5_3 branch nor in the trunk. History of that code: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3/Zend/zend_compile.c?r1=200552&r2=200603 -> added deprecation http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3/Zend/zend_compile.c?r1=200603&r2=200604 -> changed message level to strict http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3/Zend/zend_compile.c?r1=200604&r2=201057 -> deactivated with commit comment: "Removed {} E_STRICT pending furher discussion, may be introduced later on.") http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3/Zend/zend_compile.c?r1=253597&r2=253598 -> back to deprecated http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3/Zend/zend_compile.c?r1=281774&r2=286406 -> code was removed on year ago ("Cosmetic changes") http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php also contains the deprecation notice. And the note "Accessing variables of other types using [] or {} silently returns NULL.". I believe this note is wrong (or at least misleading), because accessing variables of the type 'array' will return normal values. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52254&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52254&r=mysqlcfg
