Description:
------------
I found another issue that was broken between RC6 and the final 7.1.0 release; this is probably broken by the fix for bug #69587

Test script:
---------------
$dp = new DateInterval('P2Y3W3D');
var_dump(isset($dp->d, $dp['d']));
echo $dp->d;

Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
3

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use object of type DateInterval as array in /in/XQOQD:4 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /in/XQOQD on line 4
Process exited with code 255.

Indeed, the behavioral change has been introduced with commit 23f9e482[1] which *fixed* <https://bugs.php.net/69587>. However, the fact that the behavior has changed is not a bug, because isset($dp->d) should always have yielded TRUE, so the supplied test script relies on broken behavior.

Maybe my test-script was too verbose; but are you saying array-access was broken intentionally? Why does this no longer work?

$dp = new DateInterval('P2Y3W3D');
var_dump(isset($dp->d));

Ignore code in above comment; I meant:

$dp = new DateInterval('P2Y3W3D');
var_dump(isset($dp['d']));

Array access on DateInterval objects never worked, see <https://3v4l.org/BKvVE>.

you are right, thanks
