<?

function bla() {
        $r="16% Bla";
        $r[x]=0.16;
        return($r);
}


echo bla();

?>

Returns:

06% Bla

(very strange!)

I have other examples, where the first char is e.g. a '.'. Think there will
be something mixed up.

Not strange at all.  When you define a string like you did 
with $r, then $r[0] is the first character in that string.
All strings can be accessed like that.

where is this mentioned in the manual? Hummm...
I'm at the second place of the manual authors
but I can't find it. :-) 

There is only a sentence in the "changes" about that the behaviour
of php3 has changed, but there is nothing what this really means.
I'm coming from php2, there the above construct works.

I think big parts of the manual has to be totally rewritten. I need a time
doubler. :-)
