the problem is foo[5] returns a empty string, later in ZEND_COALESCE operands, it have no idea it whether it is a valid return..

instead of change uninitlized offset from empty string to IS_NULL(BC break?), we could also introduce a CG(error_empty_string) use in such case..

thanks

great, I was thinking of make a PR (since BC break).. anyway, I agree this is the best way to deal with it..

hmm, I was thinking return IS_NULL in all mode.. your fix has no bc break. :)
