The following code:
<?php
enum Alpha {
case Foo;
}
class Bravo {
public const C = [Alpha::Foo => 3];
}
new Bravo();
Resulted in this output:
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Illegal offset type in /file.php:11
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
thrown in /file.php on line 11
But I expected this output instead:
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Illegal offset type in /file.php:8
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
thrown in /file.php on line 8
tl;dr: Yes, I know you can't use an enum as an array key. The problem here is that PHP reported the error as being on the wrong line, making the real problem hard to find.
To elaborate: PHP tells me the error is at new Bravo()
, but the actual problem is on the line where the const is defined. In the trivial case above, figuring it out is easy, but in actual production code, the new
might be in another file entirely and class Bravo
might be hundreds of lines long, concealing where the error really is. Yes, I know static analysis tools would correctly find the problem; this is still an error in PHP's engine.
I reproduced this using 3v4l.org, in addition to on my local machine, just to make sure any of my ini settings or extensions weren't affecting things.
