So, here is the TLDR;
$string = 'this is a string';
In PHP 5.5
isset($string['check']) === false
isset($string['check'][0]) === true
Why can't let
isset($string['check']) === false
isset($string['check'][0]) === false <--
?
I can see WHAT you are doing and WHAT the results are, but I don't
understand
WHY would you ever do this?
You defined $string with a string of characters. But you are trying
to use
$string as an array. This hits me as completely wrong.
That's a perfectly normal PHP idiom to get the nth character of the
string, I do it all over the place - $string[$n] is equivalent to
substr($string, $n, 1);
You are pulling data from a string using a method that is perfectly valid.
He is testing for something. Not the same thing.
