Unfortunately this was not right, I was a bit too quick on my
conclusions there.


<?php
$a = 'this is not an array';

if(isset($a['foo']))
     print '1';
if(isset($a['foo']['bar']))
     print '2';
if(isset($a['foo']['bar']['doo']))
     print '3';

?>

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in
/var/www/sites/test.php on line 8

<?php
$a = 'this is not an array';

if(is_array($a['foo']))
     print '1';
if(is_array($a['foo']['bar']))
     print '2';
if(is_array($a['foo']['bar']['doo']))
     print '3';

?>

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in

Nice eh?

In my opinion this is a bug, and for me it doesn't make sense to do any
more about untill I know what will be the behavior in the final release.
