Message:

I get a strange PHP error after updating my php version to 5.4.0-3.

I have this array:

Array

(

    [host] => 127.0.0.1

    [port] => 11211

)

When I try to access it like this I get strange warnings

 print $memcachedConfig['host'];

 print $memcachedConfig['port'];





 Warning: Illegal string offset 'host' in ....

 Warning: Illegal string offset 'port' in ...

I really don't want to just edit my php.ini and re-set the error level.

My Answer:
To fix this issue, you can modify your code to check if the key exists in the array before trying to access it. Here's an example:

php
if (isset($memcachedConfig['host'])) {
print $memcachedConfig['host'];
}

if (isset($memcachedConfig['port'])) {
print $memcachedConfig['port'];
}


This way, you can avoid the "Illegal string offset" warning by only accessing the keys that actually exist in the array.
