add an example for illegal string offset. the example is stolen from Marcus

and Markus should be now satisfied :). Currently this code segfaults with
PHP_4_3.

    Will give you differents results. The diffence is in the second cal to strrpos(). The same applies and for strripos().

 2. Change illegal use of string offset from E_WARNING to E_ERROR
+   EX :
+   marcus@zaphod /usr/src/php5 $ sapi/cli/php -r '$a = "foo"; unset($a[0][1][2]);'
+   Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in Command line code on line 1
+
 3. array_merge() accepts only arrays. If non-array is passed a E_WARNING for every non-array
    parameter will be throwed. Be careful because your code may start emitting E_WARNING out of the blue.
+
 4. Be careful when porting from ext/mysql to ext/mysqli. mysqli_fetch_row()/mysqli_fetch_array()/mysql_fetch_assoc()
    retun NULL when there is no more data in the result set (ext/mysql's functions return FALSE).
