No notices for undefined index

So the first two print statements generate NO notices, while the second obviously generates: Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /home/shawn/www/test.php on line 11 Notice: Undefined index: test in /home/shawn/www/test.php on line 12 This sucks. A bug??? error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); $a = 5; print $a[1]; print $a['test']; $a = array(); print $a[1]; print $a['test']; -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com
