> For the 13th time. {} is not going away in 5.1. From the NEWS file: 16 Nov 2005, PHP 5.1 Release Candidate 5 - Added an E_STRICT warning on the usage of {} for accessing of string offsets. (Ilia) That is, code that has been tested with RC4 and that worked (not even a notice on whatever error reporting level) might suddenly misbehave (produce warnings) as of RC5. Now don't start that stupid "disable error output on production systems" discussion again. I want my code to work on whatever setup my customers use and I have no control over that. Even if it's as simple as emitting a warning - it is a stupid, unnecessary change in the RC phase. That is about professionalism. -mp.
