note 123202 added to migration53.incompatible

In PHP 5.3, when accessing a string as an array, if the key was a string (non-existing because, for strings, the keys are integers), first char was returned. Probably it converts the string to integer, therefore to 0. PHP 5.4 throws a warning. $article; // this holds '98765' but you expect an array // You try to read a value from your "array" // PHP 5.3 : nothing // PHP 5.4 : Warning: Illegal string offset at line ... $value = $article['id_article']; var_dump($value); // returns: string(1) "9" . ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 2.233.115.153 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/123202 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123202/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123202/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123202/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123202/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123202/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123202/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123202 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/123202 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
