note 111367 added to language.types.array

Be very careful when using a result as an array. <?php echo $a['foo']['bar']['baz'] ?> will throw an error if $a is an object, and throw a warning if $a is an array but does not have the right keys, but it will silently return true if $a is null or boolean or int, and if $a is a string, it will return its first character. (This is true even with E_STRICT set.) This can be a major gotcha with functions which return null or false if they are unsuccessful. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 217.110.53.72 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/111367 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111367/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111367/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111367/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111367/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111367/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111367/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111367 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/111367 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
