As you surely know, arrays are often badly initialized: <?php // $array is undefined $array['index'] = 'value'; ?> Wouldn't it be such a good thing to let the programmers know that this is a bad habit, by throwing a +/- pedantic error ? I'm not sure which type would suit for it, but I think its important enough to throw a E_NOTICE.

I agree. I've always found it weird that no notice is thrown in this situation. Still I discourage people to code like this.

This was brought up about a year ago and dismissed.

No reason to not bring it up again. Sebastian
