The migration guide states that "The use of {} to access string offsets is deprecated. Use [] instead." but the code in zend_compile.c is commented out with #ifdef ilia_0. What's the take on this? Will it be deprecated later or should that part be removed from the migration document?It's been awhile but I once researched this, spoke with humans, and determined this syntax is deprecated as of PHP 6 and documented[1] it as such. However, that was almost three years ago so maybe the times have changed. Regards, Philip [1] http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.substr
