ID: 40583 Updated by: dmytton@php.net Reported By: darrenoh at sidepotsinternational dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: OS X PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. You cannot use arrays or objects as keys. Doing so will result in a warning: Illegal offset type. Check your code.

My complaint is that there's no way to find out what the error means or why the unset command would generate it. Reproduce code: --------------- foreach ($form['taxonomy'] as $vid) { if (substr($vid, 0, 1) != '#') { unset($form['taxonomy'][$vid]); } } Expected result: ---------------- I expected to be given an error message that I could find an explanation for somewhere. Actual result: -------------- I found no explanation anywhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40583&edit=1
