Description: ------------ Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in C:\php\PEAR\PEAR\PackageFil e\v2\rw.php on line 1575 Test script: --------------- See PFM_cli on Bug #17741 http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/packages/Net_Socket/trunk/package.xml?view=co&revision=284180&content-type=text%2Fplain is the particular badly formed package.xml

Looks like the way PEAR_PackageFile_v2_rw::setChangelogEntry() is invoked, vs the state of $this->_packageInfo['changelog']['release'][0] Given a node of: "<changelog />" It gets parsed into a blank string, rather than an array()

Moving to PEAR it self; Question is if we make the XSD enforce this more, e.g. no empty changelog like that or if we just try to deal with it internally. The XML Parser is parsing properly as <changelog /> is just an empty string (e.g. <changelog></changelog>)

This bug has been fixed in SVN. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
