Doc #62727 [NEW]: ArrayObject::offsetGet return type/logic error
From: sandy at figureone dot com
Operating system: All
PHP version: 5.4.5
Package: Documentation problem
Bug Type: Documentation Problem
Bug description:ArrayObject::offsetGet return type/logic error
Description:
------------
The docs for ArrayObject::offsetGet say it will return the value at the
passed index or boolean FALSE.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/arrayobject.offsetget.php
This suggests some sort of graceful failure on an undefined index,
returning the default value FALSE (never mind the possible ambiguity of
this return vs. the stored value FALSE).
In actuality, it returns NULL for an undefined index and fires off the
"Undefined index" NOTICE as with regular arrays.
Test script:
---------------
$t = new ArrayObject(array('exists'=>42));
var_dump( $t->offsetGet('non_existent') );
Expected result:
----------------
FALSE
(and no notice)
Actual result:
--------------
NULL
with
PHP Notice: Undefined index: non_existent in /code/2DUpLq on line 4
