Description:
------------
Similar to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55223
Not a bug, but still not what I expected.



Using array access results in an error if the subject is an object without ArrayAccess.



Not sure about the solution as I don't have familiarity with the PHP internals.

I was able to adjust this behavior adding
"""
else if(!check_empty) {
    return 0;
} 
"""
to 'zend_std_has_dimension' on Zend/zend_object_handlers.c
before the "else { zend_bad_array_access(ce); return 0; }"

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$a = [];
$o = new stdClass();
var_dump(isset($a->prop));
var_dump(isset($o[0]));

Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in %s:%d
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
  thrown in %s on line %d

Why do you think this is a bug? Using [] syntax is specifically for arrays and objects implementing ArrayAccess.
 [2020-07-28 23:43 UTC] gregorio at bonfante dot dev 
I don't think it is a bug, but it is odd behavior when considering the behavior with an arrays, resources or scalars.

For example
"""
<?php 

$null = null;
$array = [];
$string = 'string';
$int = 0;
$resource = curl_init();

var_dump(isset($undef->x->x->x)); // bool(false)
var_dump(isset($null->x->x->x)); //bool(false)
var_dump(isset($array->x->x->x));  //bool(false)
var_dump(isset($string->x->x->x)); //bool(false)
var_dump(isset($int->x->x->x)); //bool(false)
var_dump(isset($resource->x->x->x)); //bool(false)
var_dump(isset($undef['x']['x']['x'])); //bool(false)
var_dump(isset($null['x']['x']['x'])); //bool(false)
var_dump(isset($array['x']['x']['x'])); //bool(false)
var_dump(isset($string['x']['x']['x'])); //bool(false)
var_dump(isset($int['x']['x']['x'])); //bool(false)

var_dump(isset($resource['x']['x']['x'])); //ON 7.4 bool(false) ON 8 Uncaught Error: Cannot use object of type CurlHandle as array

$obj = new stdClass();
var_dump(isset($obj->x->x->x)); //bool(false)
var_dump(isset($obj['x'])); // Uncaught Error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array

The best place to talk about changing this would be on the internals mailing list. Because it's not the sort of thing that can simply be changed.
