Description

I found this problem from my client's server logs.

The simplest way to reproduce it is as follows.

% wp eval 'var_dump(path_is_absolute(1));'
 PHP Warning:  Trying to access array offset on value of type int in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2123
Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type int in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2123
 PHP Warning:  Trying to access array offset on value of type int in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2133
Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type int in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2133
bool(false)

This occurs because the first character of String is processed as an array within the function.

The client had written code like this:

$new_path = path_join( $path, get_the_ID() );

I think get_the_ID() should be cast to String, but why not make the function return False if it's not a String as well?
