Description:
------------
Using isset() on argv[1] from the CLI results in error message referring to the "?:" operator.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<? if (isset(argv[1])) echo "it's set"; ?>

Expected result:
----------------
Either nothing or the "it's set" string output on STDOUT

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home/ydeg/- on line 1

Forget the isset(). *Any* reference to argv[] triggers the error. Wondering how the heck I'm gonna check for command line arguments.

D'OH... Missing $. Sorry for the noise. Please delete the whole thing if at all possible.

But still... why the unrelated error message? That didn't help.
