Description:
------------
Returning debug info through the function __debugInfo with an empty key as the key for the first element gives a warning message "Notice: Illegal member variable name in /in/0raS3 on line 10"

Test script:
---------------
<?php

class A{
    function __debugInfo(){
        return ['' => 1];
    }
}


print_r(new A);

Expected result:
----------------
A Object
(
    [] => 1
)

Actual result:
--------------
A Object
(
    [
Notice: Illegal member variable name in /in/0raS3 on line 10
] => 1
)

I have to say it's expected behavior

see: https://github.com/laruence/php-src/blob/master/Zend/tests/debug_info.phpt

Hi Laruence,

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. The tests don't cover the case when the key is empty.

The issue also doesn't manifest when the empty key isn't the first element i.e. this:

<?php 

class A{
    function __debugInfo(){
        return [
            
            "foo" => 'bar',
            '' => 'bar',
        ];
    }
}


print_r(new A);

?>

works fine.

$ sapi/cli/php -n -d error_reporting=-1 /tmp/1.php
A Object
(
    [foo] => bar
    [
Notice: Illegal member variable name in /tmp/1.php on line 14
] => bar
)

the problem is, we use \0class_name\0property_name for private properties.

so, \0 has a special meaning if it's the lead char.

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

Reading the \0 is a bug, as that's past the end of the string (well, greater than the length variable).

The bug isn't saying that strings starting with \0 should be accepted. It's saying that it shouldn't even get that far.

Basically, the check at http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_TRUNK/Zend/zend_compile.c#1242 should also include a check against name->len:

    if (name->len == 0 || name->val[0] != '\0') {
