Cannot use string offset as an array in php

Question

I\'m trying to simulate this error with a sample php code but haven\'t been successful. Any help would be great.

\"Cannot use string offset as an array\"

Answer 1

The error occurs when:

$a = array(); 
$a['text1'] = array();
$a['text1']['text2'] = 'sometext';

Then

echo $a['text1']['text2'];     //Error!!

Solution

$b = $a['text1'];
echo $b['text2'];    // prints: sometext
