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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52254&edit=1
