Bug description: Setting an associative array $var with the key $var ...
unexpected behaviour
Description:
------------
As the following lines are ok:
$var = $var + 1;
$var[trim($var2)] = '';
I expected PHP to first evaluate the $key-String ([$var]), then modify
$var. So a line like:
$var = 'a';
$var[$var] = 0;
should work.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$var = 'xxxxx';
$var[$var] = true;
var_dump($var);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
array(1) { ["xxxxx"]=> bool(true) }
or a warning like:
Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array
Actual result:
--------------
string(5) "1xxxx"
Depending on what code was before it, or what was in $var before, the
first character is not always '1'.
