php weird bug where an array is not an array !
- by iko
I've been going mad trying to figure out why an array would not be an array in php.
For a reason I can't understand I have a bug in a smarty class. The code is this :
$compiled_tags = array();
for ($i = 0, $for_max = count($template_tags); $i < $for_max; $i++) {
$this->_current_line_no += substr_count($text_blocks[$i], "\n");
// I tried array push instead to see
// bug is here
array_push($compiled_tags,$this->_compile_tag($template_tags[$i]));
//$compiled_tags[] = $this->_compile_tag($template_tags[$i]);
$this->_current_line_no += substr_count($template_tags[$i], "\n");
}
the error message is
Warning: array_push() expects
parameter 1 to be array, integer given
in ....
OR before with []
Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as
an array in ....
I trying a var_debug on $compiled_tags and as soon I enter the for loop is not an array anymore but an integer. I tried renaming the variable, but same problem.
I'm sure is something simple that I missed but I can't figure it out. Any help is (as always) welcomed !
