1.2.446. False To Array Conversion¶
The auto vivification of false is deprecated. This feature is the automagical conversion of a boolean into an array, if needed.
Until PHP 8.1, this was possible. This feature is deprecated in PHP 8.1, and will be removed in PHP 9.0.
<?php
$a = false;
//valid in PHP
$a[3] = 1;
?>
See also Autovivification from false.
1.2.446.1. Suggestions¶
Change the typehints from bool or false to array
Validate the type returned values of an functioncall before using it
