This code will crash apache :

<?php
$a = '';
$i = 'TEST';
if (!isset($a['BUG'][$i])) {
    $a['BUG'][$i] = 'SAMPLE';
}
?>

But not this one :

<?php
$a = '';
$i = 'TEST';
$a['BUG'][$i] = 'SAMPLE';
?>

Nor this one :

<?php
$a = array();
$i = 'TEST';
if (!isset($a['BUG'][$i])) {
    $a['BUG'][$i] = 'SAMPLE';
}
?>
