The php script below will terminate without printing out any sort of error indicating the problem.  There is no HTML output error, nor anything in the apache error log.

<?

echo "blah1";

$key = "k";
//  the line below is bad
$arr[] $key;
//  the line above is bad

echo "blah2";

?>


I have duplicated this failure with php 4.0.5 from the command line in the script:

#!/usr/local/bin/php -q

<?

echo "blah1\n";
$arr[]  =$key;
echo "blah2\n";

?>
