Subject: [SPL] ArrayObject::offsetExists
From: olivier@elma.fr (Olivier Sirven)

Hi,

I am not sure whether I should post here or into php-general so feel free to 
bug me away ;)
Anyway I have found a difference with ArrayObject::offsetExists between php 
5.2.0 and php 5.2.1.
With 5.2.0 ArrayObject::offsetExists will return "true" if the offsetExists 
whether its value is empty or not. This feature is not working anymore with 
5.2.1 as it checks for the emptyness of the value too.
In other words this code will throw an exception with php 5.2.1 and will work 
just fine with php 5.2.0:

<?php

$a = new ArrayObject();
$a->offsetSet('property', 0);
if (!$a->offsetExists('property')) {
    throw new Exception('does not exists');
}
echo "ok\n";
?>

Should I report it as a bug or is this a feature?

Olivier
