Discrepancy between expected and actual output

[nyan-dot]

From manual page: https://php.net/language.types.string

In Example #18, the expected output described in the documentation is:

string(1) "b"
bool(true)

Warning: Illegal string offset '1.0' in /tmp/t.php on line 7
string(1) "b"
bool(false)

Warning: Illegal string offset 'x' in /tmp/t.php on line 9
string(1) "a"
bool(false)
string(1) "b"
bool(false)

However, the actual output is:

string(1) "b"
bool(true)
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in php-wasm run script:7
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
  thrown in php-wasm run script on line 7

@KERNAMON I understand that you are trying to be helpful, but you are not. The expected output is wrong, and has changes as of PHP 8.0, or even PHP 7.4.

Confusing people that open issues by dumping a novel of stuff that you don't even know about is frankly unhelpful to the reporter, and even to maintainers.

Your whole WASM paragraph is just plain wrong. The WASM PHP runtime is the same C runtime that any normal PHP installation has, be that Windows, Linux, WSL, or whatever.

It frankly feels that you are just using some sort of LLM Gen AI junk to try to "help" but you are doing the opposite.

I am pinging @cmb69 to this issue considering you deemed that you didn't warrant the SPAM classification in php/policies#12, but to me, it does. You have provided multiple comments which are not really useful and don't actually make our (well, at least my) job easier.

If you don't know, do not comment. Especially as I had already tagged this as verified.

@KERNAMON I have marked your conversation as off-topic. I also don't think it's SPAM, but it's definitely very unwelcome. Please do not post any more off-topic discussions and incorrect information.
