Bug description: An array of objects within an object does not evaluate properly within a string

<?
        class child_t {
                var $x;
        }

        class parent_t {
                var $childs;

                function makeChildArray() {
                        for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
                                $this->childs[$i] = new child_t;
                                $this->childs[$i]->x = "Value #$i";
                        }
                }
        }

        /* main() */
        $parent = new parent_t;
        $parent->makeChildArray();

        /* Display the values from the "childs" array: */
        for ($i = 0; isset($parent->childs[$i]->x); $i++) {
                /* BUG: See attached note! */
                echo "I am in a string context: $parent->childs[$i]->x!<br>";
                echo "I am <u>not</u> in the string context:"
                    .$parent->childs[$i]->x."<br>";
        }
?>

Compiled with: --with-gettext --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12

The first few lines of the above script is as follows:

I am in a string context: Array[0]->x!
I am not in the string context:Value #0
I am in a string context: Array[1]->x!
I am not in the string context:Value #1

Good Luck!

Jordan.
