changed behavior: property of a string

php -r "$str = 'Hello'; var_dump(isset($str->prop));"

Those on *nix like systems would probably rather use this:

  php -r '$str = "Hello"; var_dump(isset($str->prop));'

In a PHP 4 snapshot from today, it still returns false, as it always has.

Uh, ignore that statement. Now that I think about it, my test used PHP 5,
not 4. (PATH intercepted the command despite being in the php4
directory.) I'll test PHP 4 later.

Thanks.

Hi:

Someone using PEAR DB just filed a bug report. It turns out PHP's
behavior has changed when trying to find a "property" of a string:

php -r "$str = 'Hello'; var_dump(isset($str->prop));"

In 5.0.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 it returns false. But in 5.0.3 it returns true.

In a PHP 4 snapshot from today, it still returns false, as it always has.

This behavior changed in HEAD some time between 2004-10-31 and 2004-12-16.

We found the bug. Do you think this warrants a 5.0.4?
