Can someone explain the following to me? echo "DEBUG:\n"; var_dump($keys); var_dump($keys['file']); var_dump(isset($keys['NOTEXISTING'])); var_dump(isset($keys['file'])); exit; DEBUG: string(19) "myConsoleController" string(1) "m" bool(true) bool(true) Now, it seems that $keys['file'] == $keys[0], which makes sense why the issets return true. However... if ('file') echo 'true'; will print moo, therefore 'file' == 1, not 0. Why is this different when using it as a string offset? IMO, using a string as a string offset, a fatal error should be raised. Kind Regards, -- Ian P. Christian http://pookey.co.uk
