[PHP-BUG] Bug #72718 [NEW]: PHP7: array to string conversion

From:             spam2 at rhsoft dot net
Operating system: 
PHP version:      7.0.9
Package:          PHP Language Specification
Bug Type:         Bug
Bug description:PHP7: array to string conversion

Description:
------------
$count = $GLOBALS['cl_api']->$module['api_name']->count(0);
$count = $GLOBALS['cl_api']->{$module['api_name']}->count(0);

why in the world is the first a "array to string conversion" with PHP7
$module['api_name'] is clearly a field of a array and a string

while i suck all the changes in context of $$ that above is somehow
unacceptable because there is hardly some clean way to seek for such
things since seek for ]-> would also find any of similar but fine code
and seek for ]->$ the same
