Doc #52526 [NEW]: Documentation for T_STRING implying bad programming style

From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Documentation for T_STRING implying bad programming style Description: ------------ The appendix token documentation for T_STRING implies a bad programming style. As an example it gives "$a[a]". According to the PHP documentation this is incorrect syntax, the correct one is "$a['a']" (which would result in a T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, not T_STRING.) "$a[a]" works, but only throwing a notice. Furthermore all the other uses of this allrounder-token are not mentioned (e.g. for function, class and method names, constant names, ..., ...)
