note 13888 added to language.types.array.php

If using associative arrays with strings as keys, I would recommend explicitly quoting the keys, i.e. use $array["$key"] instead of $array [$key]. You might run into trouble with PHP not finding your array elements if $key is numeric but meant to be an associative key because PHP would interpret $array [$key] as an access to an indexed array. By quoting you kind of type cast the key to a string. I'll give an example to clarify: Define $a ["abc"] = "one"; $a ["234"] = "two"; Now try: print $a ["abc"] works as expected print $a ["234"] works as expected but print $a [234] will *not* Maybe this should be added to the manual somewhere.
