| I'm looping through an array and I did this:
$rate =& $mydata[$prefix];
Now, in some cases $mydata[$prefix] wasn't set/defined, so I expected $rate
to not be defined, or at least point to something that wasn't defined.
Instead, PHP 5.1.6 set $mydata[$prefix] to nothing.
If I had:
$mydata[1] = 3;
$mydata[3] = 2;
$mydata[5] = 1;
And did a loop from $i=1; $i++; $i<=5 I'd get:
$mydata[1] = 3;
$mydata[2] = ;
$mydata[3] = 2;
$mydata[4] = ;
$mydata[5] = 1;
Is this expected? A bug? Fixed in 5.2.0? I know I shouldn't set a
reference to a variable that doesn't exist, but the expected result is a
warning/error, not for PHP to populate an array.
