1.2.1424. Weak Type With Array¶
Using array as a type, to use specific index later.
The type of array is too weak : it allows to know that the array syntax has to be used in the function. Yet, it doesn’t enforce the presence or absence of a specific index.
<?php
function foo(array $variable) {
echo $array['display'];
}
?>
