Description:
------------
The error control operator '@' fails to suppress (some) "Uninitialized string offset" notices.

See example for details.

The problem also occurs on with PHP 4.4.x.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

error_reporting (E_ALL | E_NOTICE);
$x = 'test';
$x[4];              // No notice at all - compiler optimization??
@$y = $x[4];        // Notice supressed.
@'a' == $x[4];      // Notice NOT supressed - but it should be.
@$x[4] == 'a';      // Notice NOT supressed - but it should be.
(@$x[4]) == 'a';    // Notice NOT supressed - but it should be.
(@($x[4])) == 'a';  // Notice NOT supressed - but it should be.
@($x[4]) == 'a';    // Notice NOT supressed - but it should be.
@($x[4] == 'a');    // Notice supressed.

print "Done!\n";

?>


Expected result:
----------------
Done!


Actual result:
--------------
Notice: Uninitialized string offset:  4 in /home/build/test.php on line 7

Notice: Uninitialized string offset:  4 in /home/build/test.php on line 8

Notice: Uninitialized string offset:  4 in /home/build/test.php on line 9

Notice: Uninitialized string offset:  4 in /home/build/test.php on line 10

Notice: Uninitialized string offset:  4 in /home/build/test.php on line 11

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Operator precedence is working against you in this instance. 
The operation involving offset operation is before before the 
error blocking operator is considered.

While operator precedence explains the notice generated by line 7 of my original example, it does not explain the other lines.

Here is a simpler example clearly showing this bug has nothing to do with operator precedence.  The notices in line 11 and 14 should be suppressed - but they are not.  Compare lines 11 and 14 to lines 12 and 15 respectively.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

error_reporting (E_ALL | E_NOTICE);

$s = 'test';
$a = array ('t', 'e', 's', 't');

if (          $s[4]     );    // line 8, not suppressed
if (          $a[4]     );    // line 9, not suppressed

if (   @      $s[4]     );    // line 11, not suppressed
if (   @      $a[4]     );    // line 12, suppressed

if (   @ (    $s[4] )   );    // line 14, not suppressed
if (   @ (    $a[4] )   );    // line 15, suppressed

if (   @ ( $x=$s[4] )   );    // line 17, suppressed
if (   @ ( $y=$a[4] )   );    // line 18, suppressed

print "Done!\n";

?>



Expected result:

Notice: Uninitialized string offset:  4 in /borg/ripple/parke/test4.php on line 8

Notice: Undefined offset:  4 in /borg/ripple/parke/test4.php on line 9
Done!



Actual result:

Notice: Uninitialized string offset:  4 in /borg/ripple/parke/test4.php on line 11

Notice: Uninitialized string offset:  4 in /borg/ripple/parke/test4.php on line 14
