There is a strange behavior of arrays within double quotes: error_reporting(E_ALL); $arr = array( 'foo' => 'bar', 'etc' => 'other'); //This will make a Parse Error in PHP 4.1.1: echo "Foo value is $arr['foo']"; //Try instead: echo "Foo value is ".$arr['foo']; //or echo "Foo value is {$arr['foo']}"; //This will work but WON'T send a warning as the doc says: echo "Foo value is $arr[foo]"; // THIS will work AND send the warning NOTICE: echo "Foo value is ".$arr[foo]; echo $arr[foo]; It seems you cannot use the correct syntax within ""s, try the deprecated one and it will work fine without nor even sending the warning... Should it work this way? Is it a bug? If yes, does it happens with 4.1.1 only ?? System: Slack 8.0 Linux 2.4.5 PHP 4.1.1 as a static module of Apache 1.3.22 João Paulo M. Fischer
