New Comment:
the problem is that single character access to strings is still
possible using either $string[...] or $string{...},
although using {} is recommended and [] more or less deprecated
so what you did was assigning to the first character in a string
("entity" auto-converts to integer zero), and as a character position
can only take a single character it took only the "A" from the newly
assigned string

You are mixing the number of dimensions in the array... this can lead
to strange things indeed.
What I think happens is this:
In the second assignment, the extra ["entity"] is seen as an index into
the string "DBJ...", and since "entity" evaluates to zero, the first
character of the string is changed. Because a character is expected,
the string "ABrettEntry" is converted to a char, 'A'.
You can see this if you change ["entity"] to [0] (or [1], then it
changes the second character).
It is easily circumvented by changing the first assignment to $property
[ "src" ][ "brett" ][ "filename" ] = "DBJ_20020112.db.php";
Anyway, I don't think this is a bug in multi-dim-arrays, but perhaps
the documentation is not clear? Perhaps this should be reclassified as
a documentation problem?
Cheerio, Marc.

My php-Code:
<?
$property [ "src" ][ "brett" ] = "DBJ_20020112.db.php";
$property [ "src" ][ "brett" ][ "entity" ] = "ABrettEntry";
// ----------------------------------------
$GLOBALS[ "property" ] = $property;
echo( "AUSGABE1 ::: ".$property["src"]["brett"]["entity"]."<BR>" );
echo( "AUSGABE2 ::: ". $property [ "src" ][ "brett" ]."<BR>" );
?>
And the result of this script looks like this:
AUSGABE1 ::: A
AUSGABE2 ::: ABJ_20020112.db.php
