Description:
------------
Indirect object array access
$var->$arrayname['item']
only takes the first letter of the array name


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php # THIS FAILS
$name="list"; 
$obj->$name['item']='test'; 
var_dump($obj); 
?>

<?php # THIS WORKS FINE
$name="list"; 
$array=&$obj->$name;
$array['item']='test'; 
var_dump($obj); 
?>




Expected result:
----------------
object(stdClass)(1) {
  ["list"]=>
  string(4) "test"
}


Actual result:
--------------
object(stdClass)(1) {
  ["l"]=>
  string(4) "test"
}

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

$this->var is the right syntax for that.
