Test script: --------------- $a ['a'] = null; $tmp = $a['a']['b']; // nothing $tmp = $a['a']['b']['c']; // nothing // this works (throw an E_NOTICE) fine $a ['a'] = array(); $tmp = $a['a']['b']; // Undefined index: b $tmp = $a['a']['b']['c']; // Undefined index: b Expected result: ---------------- assert(isset($php_errormsg) === true); Actual result: -------------- Undefined index: b ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68110&edit=1
