oh, and here's my output after choosing 'quux' (with the error truncated -
also added note by *'s)

Post Array: Array
(
    [foo] => Array
        (
            [bar] => 2
        )

)
foo: foo Object
(
    [bar] => Array
        (
            [0] => quiz
            [1] => quuz
            [2] => quux
        )

)
foo->bar: Array
(
    [0] => quiz
    [1] => quuz
    [2] => quux
)


Notice: Undefined property: r on line 18
***** foo->bar[2] == 'Array' so foo->bar[2] == 'r'? ***

Direct Access - throws error:

Copied Array - should work: quux
